Slane
Slane is a village of approximately 1,445 person (2022 Census), renowned for its historic charm and stunning natural beauty.

Additional local tourist attractions and leisure amenities include the world renowned Newgrange, Slane Distillery, Hill of Slane and Knowth. This heritage village offers a host of additional retail and service amenities to local residents, including schools, churches, convenience stores, pubs, a hotel and parks, all set against the backdrop of the River Boyne and offers visitors a blend of rich history and vibrant culture.
 
Slane is also a highly accessible location, commutable to Dublin’s suburbs in less than 40 minutes. Slane sits on the arterial Ashbourne to Derry N2 national route. The M1, M2 and M3 motorways are all within a short distance of the village. Slane is also serviced by various bus routes to Dublin and adjoining towns. Significantly, the amenity of Slane Village is due to improve significantly following the approval of the Slane Bypass by An Coimisiún Pleanála in June 2025. This bypass should reduce congestion in the village, improve safety and upgrade commuting routes.

Slane (Irish: Baile Shláin meaning Town of Sláine mac Dela) is a village in County Meath, on a steep hillside on the left bank of the River Boyne at the intersection of the N2 (Dublin to Monaghan road) and the N51 (Drogheda to Navan road). The village centre dates from the 18th century. The village and surrounding area contains many historic sites dating back over 5,000 years.

The village centre, laid out as a model village by the Conynghams is a good example of 18th-century town planning. At the centre of the village stand four nearly identical Georgian houses. The four houses stand at the intersection of the two main streets in the village. The four houses and four streets form an octagon. This feature is known as The Square. The two main streets in the village feature 18th century grey limestone buildings with slate roofs, oriel windows and stone steps and archways.

Bus Éireann route 190 & 190A link Slane to Navan, Trim, Athboy, Drogheda and Laytown. On weekdays there is a bus in each direction every hour to/from Navan and Drogheda. Collins Coaches operate a route linking Slane to Dublin, Collon, Ardee and Carrickmacross with one journey each way to/from Ballybay.
