About Navan
Navan is County Meath’s principal town, centred on the meeting of the River Boyne and River Blackwater and serving a broad surrounding rural hinterland. It has a largely residential, family-oriented character, with established neighbourhoods in areas such as Athlumney, Johnstown and nearby Castletown, alongside a busy town centre and expanding suburban development. Education provision includes several primary schools, secondary schools and private options, with Saint Patrick’s Classical School an important local institution; Saint Ultan’s National School in Bohermeen is also among the surrounding area’s schools. There is no rail service in Navan, so commuting is mainly by bus or car, with frequent services towards Dublin and connections to Drogheda, Trim, Kells and other Meath towns; the M3 provides the main road link towards Dublin. Everyday shopping is concentrated around Navan town centre and the Navan Shopping Centre area, while local cafés, restaurants and traditional pubs give the town a lively social base. Blackwater Park provides riverside open space, walking and sports facilities, including the Parkrun start and finish and a football field, while the surrounding Boyne Valley offers well-known heritage attractions and countryside. Residents also have access to community and health services such as the HSE Bailis Resource Centre, as well as clubs and facilities supporting Gaelic games, soccer, athletics and other sports.
