Enfield, County Meath is a small town in Ireland on the N4 route about 40-50 km west of Dublin. Sitting along the Royal Canal, it has a commuter-town feel and works well as a quiet base for exploring the Boyne Valley countryside, with towpath walking and cycling on the canal Greenway.
The biggest draws nearby are County Meath’s landmark archaeological and medieval sites. The Hill of Tara is an ancient ritual site and traditional seat of Irish kings, and it is also home to the Lia Fáil, an ancient coronation stone. Knowth is a large Neolithic passage-tomb complex known for carved stones, while Loughcrew is another Neolithic passage tomb complex with hilltop cairns. For castle visits, Trim Castle is a large Anglo-Norman castle overlooking River Boyne, and Slane Castle is a historic Irish castle with an estate that also hosts concerts.
