francis ledwidge cottage

The former cottage of the Irish soldier poet, Francis Ledwidge is now a museum. It is located at Janeville, near Slane, a manorial village built where the N2 and N51 roads converge and meet.

Facing each other on either side of the cross-roads are four splendid Georgian houses, the hub from which the village radiates outwards. An imposing view of slane castle can be seen from the bridge crossing the Boyne.
