A fantastic dual-purpose track in Co. Meath. Has been much improved down the years and offers some great racing particularly over the jumps in the months leading up to Cheltenham.
Getting there
Navan is about 45 minutes from Dublin airport and can be reached by car and buses from Dublin City Centre on specific racedays.
Racecourse
Like the majority of racecourses in Ireland, well-managed and welcoming.
Ample bars and a separate coffee shop with slouchy sofas , there is also a cafeteria which serves up carvery dinner and sausage & chip type meals.
Navan stages an enviable programme of races including the Troytown & Fortria Chases, the Boyne Hurdle and on the flat the Group 3 Vintage Crop Styakes.
It’s always well-supported by locals and visitors from the North as well as the rest of Ireland.
It’s viewed as a good testing track for those heading to Cheltenham.
Summary
You’ll have a great day out at Navan regardless of the calibre of racing. You’ll be well-looked after, in a relaxing laid-back environment.
