Kells is a historic market town in County Meath, Ireland, renowned as the former home of the 9th-century Kells Abbey where monks from Iona created the famous illuminated Book of Kells around 800 AD before it moved to Trinity College Dublin.
The site features a striking 12th-century round tower, ancient high crosses, St. Colmcille's church ruins, and medieval town walls from its time as a border garrison of the Pale during Anglo-Norman rule. Today it serves as a commuter hub 65 km northwest of Dublin with a population around 6,600, blending heritage tourism with local markets and modern amenities.
