here, now what?
County Louth was the scene of important events throughout
the ages and many chapters of Ireland's history are
illustrated by the county's numerous archaeological
sites and relics from the past. Near Dundalk, a 60
foot mound called Dun Dealgan is reputed to be the
birthplace of the legendary hero Cuchulain.
Dundalk is the county town of Louth. This busy manufacturing
centre is a great base for pursuing a range of activities
including nature walks, salmon and trout fishing,
golf and horse riding. Dundalk has good nightlife
and a greyhound track, and is home town of one of
the most successful rock bands of the nineties - The
Corrs.
Historic Drogheda on the River Boyne is a bustling
port town with excellent pubs and a good live music
scene, with a Samba festival during the summer. It's
known as the "Gateway to the Boyne Valley"
- two of Irelands most famous tourist attractions,
the passage tombs at Newgrange and Knowth, are just
a few miles away.
