Horse racing excitement in the Boyne Valley

Where better to go racing than in Meath? There is plenty of choice. National Hunt and flat racing are regularly held at Fairyhouse (home of the Irish Grand National) and at Bellewstown (for over 300 years).

Navan Racecourse is one of the finest possible tests for National Hunt horses, whilst Laytown Races is a unique event where the horses race on the beach.
