Carlingford, trapped in the Cooley peninsula lays this medieval town. With its world famous oysters and unrivalled 12th century castle, Carlingford is truly one for the dreamer. Just walking though the brisk market square gives you a sense of the simplicity of this humble Irish village. With plenty of delicious fresh seafood and fish there’s bound to be something for everyone.
Just take a walk around King Johns castle, this beautiful monument overlooks the cobble streets of the village and on its day was a stronghold for the Ulster forces fending against Scottish invasion. The history of the castle is still questionable but with a nearby playground, plenty of green areas, park benches and tables it can host the ideal picnic.
It also has many antique shops throughout the village so you are sure to find the right bargain for that souvenir from this majestic place. The area is also proud of its beautiful restaurants which serve everything from traditional Irish cuisine to its local seafood range. With the Four Seasons Hotel located 3 minutes from the village centre you can dine in luxury and sit back enjoy and indulge in the scenery though the window.
A little gem trapped in the passage to the northeast, perfect for a little stop driving along Irelands Coast. With much more to see and find, of course we’ll let you tell the rest. Just don’t forget!! #WeWereDer
