The Meath Coast

Although seven miles long, Meath's coastline is a microcosm of coastal life, cultural and physical. There is nothing quite like a refreshing walk among the dune formation on the coast. Quiet, secluded, peaceful. Watch out for the theba pisana (alias helix pisana). This variety of snail is unique to these dunes and just one of the many local features of these parts. This walk can commence from the train station at Laytown where you can catch a train from Dublin/Drogheda/Belfast and walk along the beach to Mornington.

Sli na Slainte have devised several walking routes and there is also another walking route in Dalgan Park. See below:
