The country's capital, Dublin, lies around 50 kilometres to the south of Collon.
Slane is situated 10 kilometres to the southwest. An excursion out here is easily justified by Bru na Boinne Visitor Centre alone.
Newcastle Beach and Sandymount Beach are great destinations if you're after somewhere to admire ocean views.
Yearning for some time out in nature? Warm up the car and hightail it to Hill of Slane, 10 kilometres from Collon. Alternatively, take in a breath of fresh air at Slieve Gullion, 40 kilometres away.
No Gaelic football lover will want to miss a trip to Pairc Tailteann, which is located 20 kilometres away in Navan. Take a look at the event schedule to find out when they're playing. If you miss them, why not catch the stadium's second home team, the Meath GAA?
There's even more just down the road. Dunleer, 7 kilometres to the northeast, is known for Monasterboice and Jumping Church. Though, if the Ardee Golf Club and Knockabbey Castle And Gardens sound better to you, go 9 kilometres northwest from Collon to Ardee.
Martello Tower, Dowth and Magdalene Tower are all quite close to Donore, 10 kilometres to the south. Need some more excuses to call in? Millmount Museum and the Highlanes Gallery are not far away either.
Whether you prefer chasing Michelin stars or devouring a snack from a street stall, tasting the local food and drink is maybe the best thing about travel. So why not tingle your taste buds by trying some of the area's appetising offerings?
A traditional meal here often includes mutton and pork, two common ingredients for which the area is known for plating up.
While in Collon, why not eat like a local? That means ordering a plate of Irish stew (lamb or mutton with potato, onion and parsley) or bacon and cabbage (pork back boiled with cabbage and potato), two of the region's culinary specialties.
We're sure you won't need too much persuading to have a nibble of sweet seedcake loaf, a sweet treat that'll make you want to pack your bags and start a new life here.
It can be hard to sort the wheat from the chaff when it comes to good beers, but one brew worth sampling is Murphy’s Irish Stout. Grab a glass and bottoms up!
Be sure to mark the 17th of March in your calendar. In Collon this means one thing — Saint Patrick's Day. An important day of celebrations, this is a great time of year to be in the country.
With just a little bit of your holiday budget left to spend, be sure to stock up on some souvenirs of the stunning Louth region before you bid farewell.
Seemingly endless security checkpoints, long lines and even longer walks to the boarding gate. Airports can be very challenging places. Give yourself ample time to get to Dublin Airport (DUB). Located 45 kilometres to the south, it's the nearest terminal.
