About Kentstown
Kentstown is a village in County Meath, around 8 kilometres east of Navan and within easy reach of Dunsany, Slane, Kilmessan and the M3 corridor. It has a compact, largely residential and rural character, with village services surrounded by farmland and country roads. Families are served locally by Kentstown National School, while secondary schools and a broader range of services are available in Navan and nearby towns. Commuters generally rely on cars, with access to Navan, the M3 and Dublin-bound bus services from surrounding towns; the locality does not have its own railway station. Day-to-day shopping is centred on local village businesses, with larger supermarkets, retail parks and professional services in Navan. The village pub provides a traditional social focus, while nearby restaurants, cafés and leisure facilities broaden the choice. Residents are also close to the Boyne Valley’s historic attractions, including the Hill of Tara, Slane Castle and Newgrange, as well as local GAA and community activities.
