Why stay in Louth

Louth — The Wee County

Louth is Ireland's smallest county but one of its most historically significant. Drogheda was Ireland's largest town in the medieval period and the site of Cromwell's infamous 1649 siege. Monasterboice, 9km north of Drogheda, contains Muiredach's Cross (923 AD) — arguably the finest high cross in Europe, with intricate biblical scenes carved in stone. The Cooley Peninsula offers medieval Carlingford village, excellent oysters, and the dramatic Slieve Foy mountains above Carlingford Lough.
