We've got great holiday cottages for rent throughout Louth from the banks of Carlingford Lough in the north (great oysters and adventure centre), inland through Knockabbey and down the east coast to Termonfeckin (near County Louth Golf Course - "below the radar but great course"). Known as the 'wee county', County Louth covers an area of only 317 square miles. It runs northwards from the River Boyne to the dramatic scenery around Carlingford Lough. In north Louth, beside Dundalk Bay, lies the mountainous Cooley Peninsula. County Louth was the scene of important events throughout the ages the county has numerous archaeological sites and relics from the past (Monasterboice Monastic Site and Mellifont Abbey). Near Dundalk, a 60 foot mound called Dun Dealgan is reputed to be the birthplace of the legendary hero Cuchulain. Louth is a great location for exploring the east of Ireland.
