Town of Slane
Slane is a beautiful residential village, planned by the Conynghams, with large country houses built around a crossroads. The main attraction of this village is the four excellent Georgian houses that stand face to face at the meeting point of the N2 and N15 roads. The Slane Castle, not far from the village and built on a beautiful site above the river valley, is an attractive castellated mansion with towers and embattled parapets. This is the home of Lord Henry, Earl of Mountcharles which, with the surrounding grounds resembling a natural gigantic amphitheater, become a famous concert place. But unfortunately this castle was accidentally consumed by fire in 1991.
