This charming seaside town overlooks the Mourne Mountains, whose silhouette rises along the coast of Northern Ireland. Carlingford is very lively at weekends thanks to its many pubs and restaurants, which attract visitors from the north, and is famous for its oysters.
The village has several historical sights, such as the small King John's Castle, with its romantic silhouette overlooking the sea, and Taaffe's Castle, a former 16th-century merchant's house located a little further from the quay.

Hiking

The small town of Carlingford is located between Carlingford Lough and Mount Slieve Foy. It can be reached daily by bus from Dundalk and Newry. Carlingford was built around King John's Castle, which is still in ruins today. You can also see the ruins of a Dominican monastery, the Tower House, the city gate and the beautiful St. Michael's Church in Carlingford. The nearby Slieve Foy is great for hiking and enjoying great views.
