Stunning service, wonderful readings by young believers of genesis and acts. Exceptional sermon Focusing on the pride of the Tower of Babel and its inverse, Pentecost. Beautiful bells and words by the servant of the lord. 🙏 I wish these were available online, like those from cornerstone back home, so more could enjoy the word of god. Another great point from the sermon “never accept less, we are here to worship all mighty god, and Pentecost should remind us of the power freely given to us” 🤲 Wonderful use of Christmas lights to highlight the diversity of the church!! ⛪️ 🎄 😂 love it!!😍

Thanks to the book that bears its name, Kells is probably the best known of the Gaelic monastic sites. The book is not here and all that remains here is a churchyard with a few towers, a couple of high crosses and a locked church. The carvings and inscriptions on the crosses are interesting
Fergal J — Google review
A beautiful location with loads to see and explore, the round tower, the high cross and the large tower to the rear of the church stand out for their own points of interest. Parking was on the road and you can explore the cemetery and walk all the way around the church to enjoy the views provided, all in all a very ebjoyable visit, cheers
Michael G — Google review
The three high crosses here plus one more in town are an absolute must see for anyone interested in church history and spirituality. These are the iconic high crosses in many brochures of Ireland and so see them right up close is remarkable.
Adrian B — Google review
Visiting on Bank holiday weekend. Interesting old headstones and High Cross's. Very little information a available on site which is unusual considering this is where the Book of Kells originated from.
Patrick E — Google review
Better than expected. Not the original church or spire next to it but the round tower and crosses are.
Megan M — Google review
Charming old church, graveyard and round tower. Full of character and history.

A light house in the middle of a large field, where only in Ireland would you see it. It has excellent parking, a play area for children, some beautiful walks and of course the stunning lighthouse itself in a unique setting, a great location with something for everyone, cheers
Michael G — Google review
The Spire of Lloyd is a stunning inland lighthouse replica with panoramic views, it is said on a clear day you can see across 17 counties! Built in 1791, it's full of history and charm. The nearby Famine graveyard /Paupers graveyard adds a moving layer to the visit. Peaceful, scenic, and unique. The climb to the top of the Spire is open to the public only on Friday with bookings. The Views of Spire from the roads , the grass lands all adds a different viewpoint

Need to pre-book tour. Only on Fridays. Worth a visit. Fantastic views over Meath and beyond.

Well worth a look. Beautiful views and quite a unique structure inland. The tour is short and while the guide was friendly and accommodating, the information and delivery could be improved a little. Still, would recommend a look if you're interested!

Fantastic club. Played both the old and championship course, both in great condition. A tough challenge for sure. But very enjoyable. Food in the clubhouse afterwards hit the spot. Definitely worth a visit.

Played the Championship course and it was a real solid test. I can see why it hosted the Challenge Tour. Some really dense woodland to enjoy as well. A top track.

Very historical building. A must watch if you visit kells.
Sachin_John — Google review
(Translated by Google) Tradition has named it the house of San Colombano, but the construction is decidedly more recent. However, we are talking about an early medieval structure with the oldest stone roof in Ireland. It cannot be visited. (Original) La tradizione l'ha nominata casa di San Colombano, ma la costruzione è decisamente più recente. Comunque parliamo di una struttura alto medioevale con il tetto in pietra più antico d'Irlanda. Non è visitabile.
