Slane Castle guide: Oasis in Slane
Slane Castle is an 18th-century castle on the River Boyne in County Meath, about 45 km north-west of Dublin. Since 1981 its grounds have hosted Ireland's most famous open-air concerts: the land falls away from the castle towards the river in a natural amphitheatre, giving one of the most spectacular settings in live music.
