County Louth Travel Guide
Blink and you'll miss it—to the north and east of Meath, little Louth is Ireland's tiniest county at only 824 sq. km (318 sq. miles), and even its largest towns (Drogheda and Dundalk) are quite small. The heritage town of Carlingford is easily the prettiest, sitting on a spur of the Cooley Mountains, overlooking glassy Carlingford Lough—a photo just waiting to happen. Established by the Vikings, Carlingford still follows its medieval street patterns, and is overseen by a massive 13th-century castle. On the heights above the town, the ancient Irish folk hero Cúchulainn is said to have single-handedly defeated the armies of Ulster in an epic battle.
