Kilmainhamwood sits on the River Dee in north Meath, a short distance from the Cavan border. The townland is built into the drumlins — those rolling, steep-sided hills that glaciers left across northern Ireland.
It is a settlement without much public infrastructure — a village for people who live there, not for passing through. The landscape is the draw: small hills, scattered farms, the sense of the border country.
Stay in a larger village nearby if you need pubs or beds. Come here to walk the rivers and drumlin country.
Kilmainhamwood is 90 minutes north-northwest of Dublin, near the Meath–Cavan boundary.
