Routes and trails in Carlingford

On the edge of Carlingford Lough and at the base of the Cooley Mountains is picturesque Carlingford. Explore the medieval streets, try the famous local oysters and have a drink in a 16th century castle.

Take off on a walk up Slieve Foye and watch the ferry sail across Carlingford Lough below before strolling along the water’s edge on the Carlingford Greenway. If you’re feeling brave, join the swimmers in the water by the pier.
