LOCATION
While Maperath Cottage occupies a tranquil countryside position, it is conveniently located some 3.5km southwest of the picturesque award-winning village of Moynalty on the Barora River, and some 5km north of the heritage town of Kells. Fronting a local or country road, connections are quite simple, with the R164 after some 2km, and with the N52 after 4.5km, which connects with the M3 after some 2.5km.
Moynalty offers local services including convenience store, filling station, pharmacy, doctors practice, coffee shop, primary school, church (R.C) among others. Add to that GAA club, Moynalty Steam Threshing Museum and nearby sports grounds of Castle Villa AFC and North Meath Rugby Club at The Grange, near the village of Carlanstown.
Kells offers an excellent array of shopping outlets, both authentic indigenous and the multiples, including SuperValu and Aldi; recreational; educational with preschools, creches, primary and secondary schools; employment and other facilities. Nearby too is Headfort School, a non-denominational day and boarding private school. The town is home to the landmark Headfort Arms Hotel as well as a number of charming cafes and restaurants. Local leisure facilities include two award-winning 18-hole golf courses at Headfort, tennis club, swimming pool and equestrian centres along with a range of other sports clubs and their grounds facilitating soccer, rugby, football, hurling and handball codes.
Designated as a Heritage Town, Kells is rich in history and cultural heritage, making it a popular destination for tourists. Some of the top local attractions include: The Book of Kells; Kells Round Tower, symbolic of Ireland`s Christian heritage and offering stunning views of the surrounding area; St. Columba`s Church, dates back to the 18th century being a beautiful example of Georgian architecture; Kells High Crosses, intricately carved stone crosses being examples of early Christian art; and the Spire of Lloyd, an inland lighthouse dating to what`s thought to be the Bronze Age and having magnificent views as far as the Mourne Mountains in County Down, on a clear day.
A headlining local attraction is Causey Farm which offers Farmaphobia, Ireland`s biggest Halloween scare attraction; Christmas Experience; Summer Camp; Farm Experience; Ablefest, Dogitude, a two-day dog festival; team building days and hen party packages. There is much more to do in or about Kells including Hinterland, an annual festival of literature and arts. Along with the River Blackwater, which fuses with the River Boyne in nearby Navan, there are several lakes nearby making the area ideal for those fond of fishing or water sports. The Meath Hunt operate nearby too. Locally there is Girley Bog Walk; towards Oldcastle, the Loughcrew Hills incorporate a complex of passage tombs, one of Irelands most magnificent and abounding archaeological landscapes, ideal for exploration.
Deerpark near Virginia on Lough Ramor, provides another beautiful natural resource. Richard Corrigan`s culinary and hospitality hotspot, Virginia Park Lodge, is adjacent there too. Add to that Mullaghmeen Forest is not too far either, Europe`s largest planted Beech forest, ideal for a trek, with or without dogs. The picturesque village of Fore, with its magical seven wonders, is also popular with its recent nearby addition, Fore Distillery, which turns out rum and poitín.
With the M3 adjacent and the N52 (Dundalk/Limerick Road) routing by, Kells is one of the premier satellite locations ideal for those commuting to Dublin and elsewhere through the provinces. Regular scheduled buses run along the M3/N3, many by the subject property, adding to the choice of travel options to Dublin City & Airport and back to Donegal through Cavan. Given its excellent transport links, Kells is popular with Dublin commuters and those who transverse the country for work. Employees, particularly those from the ICT, E-commerce and pharma sectors based around Blanchardstown / Damastown as well as ICTs based around Leixlip often choose Kells as a place to call home, citing lifestyle, ease of commuting and affordability as the rationale for their choice. Such companies include giants like Synopsys, IBM, PayPal, Symantec, Ebay, Paypal, Bristol Myers-Squibb, Alexion, Helsinn Birex, Hewlett-Packard and Intel, with recent additions MSD, near Dunboyne, and Facebooks data centre at Clonee.
For those who wish to immerse themselves in retail therapy, Navan Shopping Centre is about 20 minutes` drive, 20 minutes more takes you to the Blanchardstown Shopping Centre and 40 minutes further lands you in Kildare Village, for all the very best in designer outlet shopping.
