Leprechaun and Fairy Underground Cavern

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.

Carlingford to Omeath Greenway

Reviewed By MartinMaryOmeath - Omeath, Ireland

A beautiful walk all along Carlingford lough. Start at The Granvue Hotel in Omeath, enjoy the beautiful scenery all the way to Carlingford, watch the cyclist's. Have lunch in The Orchard Bakery, and walk back, 15k so about four hours with lunch. If going Carlingford to Omeath, make sure to call into Cafe Rosa in Omeath for lunch or coffee and fabulous pastries.

Carlingford Marina

Carlingford Marina is a 170 berth marina on the coastal inlet of Carlingford Lough. Carlingford Marina is a safe haven for visiting boats, providing a much needed stop over between ports in Dublin and Belfast. Carlingford Marina also offers 8 self catering apartments to visitors by sea or by land. Each apartment can sleep up to 5 people - has its own kitchen, living area and bathroom - and awards its guests with spectacular, panoramic views out over the marina, the lough, and the mountains either side.

A good stopping off point at the top of the east coast. Unless you have a good motor make sure to get past Greenore before the ebb tide starts flowing. Berths are good value for a yacht and also ashore for a camper van. Expect a warm welcome in Rabelo Bistro when you get ashore. The village is a short walk, but make sure to cross the main road and go by the old road into the town.
