The East Ireland / County Louth region
County Louth is the smallest county in Ireland, it is the 'wee county'. However it is the place of much myth, legend and history. It is named after the great Irish God, Lugh. There is much history around here, including the Vikings and Carlingford Lough.
Ruined monasteries, high crosses, dolmens, cairns, medieval castles, gates and walls all illustrate an awe-inspiring past. Louth is a place where thousands of years of history and myth combine with undulating valleys and mountains and where visitor attractions are all within easy reach. For over 6000 years people have lived here, and have left behind them rich legacies from bygone eras.
Louth offers a wide range of visitor attractions where leisure hours can be filled with both stimulating and relaxing pleasures. Whether the visitor requires a quiet break or demands an action packed holiday, the county abounds with interesting places to see and a myriad of things to do whether it's walking, cycling, angling, golf, riding or watersports.
Carlingford area
The sweeping backdrop of the green Slieve Foye - the highest mountain in Louth - provides Carlingford with a magnificent setting of raw beauty. A renowned Heritage Town, Carlingford is brimming with remnants of its medieval origins. As well as enjoying an unrivalled location, the village provides a wide range of quality accommodation and restaurants.
