Sorry if done before, but I'm curious!

For me it's simple: HOME.

It's history and heritage.

Archeron

Scenery and as above, its ancient heritage.

Oh, and the Silver Swan in Trim. Best full Irish breakfast this side of alternative realities.

Lots of things, can't pick just one, but the Boyne and the history are definitely up there.

Near enough to Dublin, but far enough away at the same time.

Being a big fan of the full Irish, I gotta try that place.... where is it in Trim?

Have you not tried the breakfast in Fidelmas in Dunshaughlin? It's a must

On market Street, next door to Proper Pizza. opposite side of the road from Xtravision and up a bit towards the courthouse.

Silver Swan is rotten. Only place you'll get a fry cooked with MSG.

Fidelma's is the best breakfast going.

I'm a true Meathman myself and my favourite things about the county are:

1) The real lush landscape throughout;

2) The way in which most of our heritage sites are not stage Irish attractions, but a true representation of our heritage - I just love it when you go to places like Tara, Bective, Lough Crew, Trim etc and enjoy it in peace without the tackiness that goes with many attractions like Bunratty, Blarney, Killarney etc. I'd have the M3 near Tara anytime over stage Irishness - really hope Meath stays the way it is;

3) Really like the N2 from Ashbourne to Slane - it's a real straight highway!

4) Navan - it's a pretty good place to shop.

Lord Mount Charles has explained that the N2 was built in such a straight line so that a visiting king a long time ago could get to the castle in Slane as quickly as possible from the port in Dublin.

I love the heritage and so much of it. Tara, Newgrange, Knowth and Dowth, Trim Castle, Bective Abbey, River Boyne, Lough Crew.

The lovely countryside.

The football.

Being close to Dublin but still being in the country.

Don't make the rookie mistake of ordering the large breakfast, unless you need to feed a family of four!!

...because it's always 'No bother'

...and maybe the best thing that could happen Meath is all of the likes of you on it!

Oh, and if you're in any way stuck, I can find you the M1, N2, M3 anytime - all very fast roads out!

Just one thing though, once you're out of Meath, don't come back!

I for one appreciate this county -

Up the Royals!

DeeBE

The hidden treasures....
Tsleachta (Hill of Ward), site of the ancient feast of Samhain - near Athboy.

The view from Loughcrew (Oldcastle) on a misty morning.

The fun and craic in The Causey Farm, or at the Blue Jean Country Queen Festival.

The atmosphere of going to a concert in Slane.

Sitting in a pub in Rathcairn while theres a good old trad session going on.

The list is endless really.. we have a great county

I remember it well with all the mirrors - I kept thinking I was about to bump into myself.

IMO, they shouldn't really have got rid of it - it was great fun!

When someone asks you (Outside of Meath) where you're from, you just say Naaaavan and you don't even have to say the county.

The countryside around Kileen/Dunsany in Autumn is beautiful.

The heritage.
