Dowdstown
House is situated on the banks of the Boyne in the grounds
of Dalgan Park in Navan, Co. Meath. It is a peaceful haven to soothe body, mind
and spirit. Our qualified counsellors provide affordable counselling for individuals suffering physical, emotional, sexual and psychological abuse, depression, personal growth issues, family, relationship problems, feeling suicidal, mental health issues and addiction problems. We also provide confidential bereavement care to those who have lost a loved one.
The area is rich in wild life, with scenic woodland
and river walks. One could commune with nature as one strolls
along by the banks of the Skane and the Boyne rivers that
flow through the property. It was once the home of General
Thomas Taylor who served with the Duke of Wellington at Waterloo.
He had the grounds planted in the pattern of the troops before
the battle.
Dowdstown House
is built in the neo-jacobite fashion with splendid interior
of carved wood, on the stairway and front rooms. It is
set in the rich pastureland of County Meath.
We
are situated in the centre of the Boyne Valley, beneath
the shadow of Tara, within easy reach of Newgrange, Knowth
& Dowth. The Rich Heritage of Kells and Monasterboice
with their famous High Crosses are situated close by. Trim
Castle, the setting for the film Braveheart, is well worth
a visit. The Lough Crew Hills and the Hill of Slane provides
a link with our pre-christian past.
Facilities at
the centre include:
- Meeting rooms
-
Extensive river and woodland walks provide tranquillity
and peace.
-
Proximity to Dublin and airport (25 miles), makes it
an attractive location for foreign visitors.
-
Counselling
and bereavement support are major works of the centre.
