About Moynalty
Moynalty is a small, picturesque village in north County Meath, close to the Cavan border and within easy reach of Kells, Mullagh and Bailieborough. Set along the R164 and surrounded by rolling farmland, it has a quiet, rural feel with a strong sense of community and heritage. The village is best known for the annual Moynalty Steam Threshing Festival, which draws visitors from across Ireland and underlines the area’s deep agricultural roots. Day‑to‑day life centres on the village crossroads, St Mary’s Church and the local pub, while a wider range of shops, supermarkets and services are available in nearby Kells and Bailieborough. Primary education is available locally, with additional primary and secondary options in the surrounding towns. Public transport is limited but the R164 provides straightforward road access to Kells and the N3 towards Navan and Dublin, making Moynalty suitable for those seeking country living within commuting distance of larger centres.
