Duleek

united kingdom

Duleek sits in County Meath, about 45 minutes north of Dublin via the M1 motorway. Take Junction 7 and head west for 8 kilometers on local roads. The town makes a handy base for exploring the Boyne Valley, with Newgrange just 15 kilometers northwest and decent charging points for electric cars. The medieval abbey ruins dominate the town center, where the 12th-century tower and carved stone crosses remind you this was one of Ireland's first Christian settlements. Good connections to Drogheda on the R152 and down to Ashbourne.
