Rock Farm Slane (County Meath)

Slane is best known for its huge once-annual rock concerts (Guns N’ Roses headlined in 2017), but it has plenty more to offer, with the Hill of Tara and Newgrange both nearby. As the only site amid the best part of Ireland’s Ancient East to make our list, Rock Farm is the ideal base. This languid eco-tourism spot is tucked in amongst the trees overlooking Slane Castle. As well as high-end glamping facilities, it is home to fantastic yurts and shepherd’s huts. Electric bikes, kayaking, hiking and tree-climbing (yes, it’s a thing!) are all on offer locally.
