Located just sixty kilometers (38 miles) from Dublin, the quaint town of Kells in County Meath is most commonly known for its historical importance, the high crosses, the round tower, and the lighthouse. Apart from that, the town makes for a beautiful retreat from the bustle of everyday to kick back and relax while taking in views of the Irish countryside. Motor enthusiasts can check out the Kells Road Races that are held regularly on the roads to the west involving some high-powered motorcycle racing on the otherwise quiet country roads while movie enthusiasts would find it interesting to know that ‘The Butcher Boy’ was partially shot at the Headfort House and the Oscar-nominated 'The Secret of Kells’ was inspired by the ecclesiastical history of this quaint little town.
