👍👍 We were actually on the way to Blackrock in Co Louth, but never managed to get there because of the bike race. This is how we ended at the Stephenstown pond. The pond itself isn't very big, so an ideal walk, if you're not the greatest walker around. The path is easy to walk on and perfect for wheel...

Skypark of Carlingford

Outdoor activity organiser

👍👍 Amazing place for everyone as a toddler as an adult. We spent there 5 hours and it was not enough to try everything. Every single challenge or course very well thought.

Balrath Woods

👍👍 Lovely area for a wander. Not large but has loads of paths that you can get lost on - and there is a map and trails showing the easy/paved walks and others a bit off the track.
