LOCATION & CONNECTIVITY
Situated within comfortable walking distance of Oldcastle town centre, Firview offers easy access to an array of local amenities including shops including Cadden`s SuperValu, cafés, character public houses, boutiques, pharmacies, banking services, credit union, primary and secondary schools, sports clubs, gyms, medical practice, and public library. Oldcastle is a lively bustling country town set around The Square where in gone by days there had been a market that people from the counties of Meath, Westmeath and Cavan would meet and trade.
Located in the north-west of County Meath, Oldcastle is surrounded by the fertile plains of the Royal County which run to meet the rolling drumlins of Cavan and Westmeath`s lakelands. Oldcastle is rich in heritage being popular with tourist visitors. Within minutes` drive of Oldcastle, the Loughcrew cairns are a series of about thirty tombs situated across a ridge of four hills. Loughcrew offers spectacular views from the cairns. Apparently from its summit, Slieve Na Calliagh, Meath`s highest point at 276 meters, 18 counties can be seen on a clear day.
Locally the area caters for a good range of recreational activities including soccer, rugby, football, hurling, handball, pitch and putt, go-carting, shooting, hunting, fishing and an array of water sports. Golfing enthusiasts will be likely enamoured by the courses at Headfort in Kells or for those less energetic, there is the course at Virginia by Lough Ramor. An afternoon`s horse racing can be had at Navan, Fairyhouse and Kilbeggan racecourses and of course a night at the dogs can be enjoyed at the Mullingar Greyhound Track. As a bonus the Ballymacad Point-to-Point venue is adjacent too, an event held annually.
Within 10km is Mullaghmeen, Europe`s largest planted Beech forest. There is the picturesque village of Fore, some 13km away, with its magical Abbey and associated seven wonders, together with its nearby relative newbie, Fore Distillery, which turns out rum and poitín. Other high-profile attractions include castles at Slane and Trim; Brú na Bóinne including Newgrange; Bective Abbey; Battle of the Boyne visitor centre; seaside at Bettystown; horse racing at Navan and Bellewstown; golf at Headfort, Crover, Royal Tara and at Killeen Castle amongst other great courses; and hunting with the Ballymacad`s. Lough Ramor together with the Boyne and Blackwater Rivers, as well as other local rivers and lakes offer fishing and water-based fun options. The Summer mecca that is Lough Lene is relatively close too at only 15km. Another headlining local attraction is Causey Farm which offers Farmaphobia, Ireland`s biggest Halloween scare attraction; Christmas Experience; Easter Eggsplore, Summer Camp; Farm Experience; Ablefest and Dogitude, a festival for dogs and dog lovers!
The local area is well known for the unrelenting business acumen of many of its locals with bed and furniture manufacturing as well as the engineering of farm machinery, machinery components and metal fabrication being popular enterprises.
