1. Leprechaun and Fairy Underground Cavern
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 193 reviews
The tour includes 15 minutes of storytelling and an introduction to how the last leprechauns of Ireland became a protected species by the E.U..This is done in the story room across from the cavern at Shalom B.B.You may park there. This is followed by a visit below the ground where leprechauns and fairies converge in the morning as the sun rises. The visit is predominately indoors and definately great for a rainy day. It is not really suitable for children under 5 or who have not lost a tooth.If children are crying or disruptive, parents may be asked to leave with them till quiet, to allow other attendees to enjoy the whole experience. Adults should enjoy it at any age!

While the leprechaun cavern is closed due to COVID-19, it is still a lovely family stroll. There are nice monuments in the garden which provide lovely little photo opps with the kids. I’d say it’s a lovely spot when it’s fully functioning. I’ll definitely be heading back the next time I’m in Carlingford.

Cuchulain’s stone … a great hero in Irish folklore. He was a fearless fighter who, when mortally wounded, tied himself to this stone. His enemies were so fearful of him, that even though he was still, they were too afraid to approach him, until a raven landed on his shoulder, and they knew for certain that he was dead. He is the ‘patron saint’ of all Irish fighters, which is why there is a statue of him outside the GPO in Dublin - commemorating the leaders of the 1916 Easter Rising. Sat Nav co-ords for parking ... (across the road) N 53 58.569 W 006 28.024 When I was there, the field had recently been planted after being 'fertilized' with slurry .... (if you don't know what this is ... look it up !!!!). Wear boots .... very, very 'muddy' !!!

This Dolmen is so off the beaten path. You must walk through a farmer's field to reach it and there is no signage in the small parking area. Don't let this discourage you! We had the Dolmen all to ourselves and it was spectacular. It is well preserved and the signage nearby describes its history. Super cool and well worth the detour.

2km walk over the headland from the Little Strand to Port Oriel is a must if in Clogherhead. The views are incredible and sunrises are amazing.
10. St. Laurence Gate

Reviewed By stephena39 - Newtownards, United Kingdom
A good example of a gate of a walled city dating back to the 13th century. Was able to park beside it. You can see we're the portcullis went up and down to seal off the city
