Carlingford on the southern shore of Carlingford Lough, the capital of the Cooley Peninsula, lies in an area of outstanding beauty, boasting spectacular coastal and mountain scenery.
It is regarded as one of Ireland’s foremost medieval towns- a sea port and market town with winding narrow streets and still enhanced with castles and historical buildings bearing witness to it's centuries old history.
While the town has much to offer in terms of sightseeing, history, hotels, restaurants and pubs it also offers a wide range of outdoor pursuits that will challenge that most competitive of Hens.
Try your hand at horse riding, archery, windsurfing, kayaking, golf, hill walking, sea angling, sailing, rock climbing or abseiling to mention but a few.
For the less energetic, why not spend some time in the local shops including ladies fashion, crafts and jewellery.
For the evening session, there are excellent Italian, gourmet and authentic traditional restaurants, tea rooms and delis.
The choice of accommodation is excellent from hotels to budget and including many self catering establishments.
Like all good Irish towns, Carlingford has plenty of welcoming local pubs where the craic is mighty.
