In the Heart of Oldcastle

Nestled in the north-west of County Meath, Oldcastle is a vibrant town renowned for its storied heritage and picturesque landscapes. The town thrives as a service and employment centre for the wider region, offering a harmonious blend of history, culture, and modern amenities. Residents and visitors alike benefit from a comprehensive range of facilities, including a well-stocked library, diverse shops, inviting cafés, and traditional pubs. The town also caters to families with both a primary and a secondary school, ensuring educational needs are well met.

Oldcastle’s location is particularly advantageous, positioned just a 15-minute drive from the N3 route and approximately 85 kilometres north-west of Dublin, making the capital easily accessible in around an hour. The nearby town of Virginia, only ten minutes away by car, provides an even broader selection of amenities and services. Oldcastle’s strategic setting at the crossroads of the R154 and R195 regional roads enhances its connectivity within County Meath and beyond.

Steeped in Ireland’s ancient past, Oldcastle serves as an ideal gateway to the region’s many attractions. The town is situated close to Lough Ramor, a popular destination for scenic walks and angling, while the renowned Loughcrew Cairns-Neolithic passage tombs adorned with mysterious carvings-are just a short distance away. These cairns, dating back to 3,000 BC, are even older than the Egyptian pyramids and offer breathtaking views from Slieve na Calliagh, the highest point in the county.
