About Moynalty
Moynalty is a small, historic village in north County Meath, close to the County Cavan border and within reach of Kells, Carlanstown, Nobber, Mullagh and Bailieborough. Best known for its attractive village setting and the River Moynalty, it has a peaceful, rural character, with older stone buildings, landscaped riverside areas and surrounding farmland. Day-to-day life is quiet and community-minded, suited to residents who value space and village atmosphere while remaining within driving distance of larger towns. Westland School House is a notable local education landmark, while families also use primary and secondary schools in surrounding villages and towns. There is no railway station in Moynalty, so private cars are the main transport option; buses and rail connections are generally accessed in nearby towns such as Kells or Navan. Local social life centres on village pubs, community events and nearby dining, with wider shopping and services available in Kells, Navan and Cavan. The village’s riverside walks, historic buildings and annual Moynalty Steam Threshing Festival are among its main attractions, complemented by active sporting and community organisations in the surrounding area.
