About Kells

Kells is a historic market town in County Meath, situated on the N3 corridor between Navan and Virginia, with nearby Carlanstown, Carnaross, Fordstown and Moynalty. It combines an established, family-oriented town centre with surrounding rural countryside and is best known for its early Christian heritage, including the Book of Kells association and the distinctive round tower and high crosses at St Columba’s Church. Day-to-day life centres on the town’s shops, services, cafés, pubs and restaurants, with Kells Shopping Centre providing convenient retail alongside independent businesses in the centre. People’s Park offers open space for walking and recreation, while local sports clubs and community organisations provide activities for different ages. Commuters generally use the N3 and regional roads towards Navan, Dublin and Cavan, with bus services connecting Kells to surrounding towns and the capital; Kells does not have a railway station. Families have access to local primary and secondary education, with further schools and services available in Navan. The town also benefits from practical facilities around Park Rí, including parking, a car wash and a bus and truck car park, making it a useful service point for residents and passing traffic.
