Best places: Things to dos in Blackrock, Ireland

👍👍 Darver castle is truly out in its own league when it comes to wedding venues in Ireland, and I have had the privilege of capturing a number of amazing weddings here. It is everything you dreamed it could be and more. you can live your fairytale dream here. The possibilities are endless when it comes...

👍👍 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...

👍 Very nice town

👍 Nice relaxing park, the pond needs a good clean though

👍 Proleek has a magnificent dolmen or portal tomb, there is also a wedge tomb very close nearby. Impressive as they are the walk to them is over a golf course and you get a sense that you are intruding as you make your way from the car park in the nearby hotel towards these monuments. You walk between...

😐 Located just off the Castletown Road, Dundalk. No parking sign at entrance but it is possible to park at a housing development just a few metres further up the road on the left hand side. Vehicular entrance gates are locked. Pedestrian entrance is over a stone stile / steps or slip through a gap on...

👍👍 A great little playground, tis suitable for children of all ages, and theres a great restaurant right beside it so ye can be sitting there on the patio watching them while you have tae and chips. Only problem for us was the massive GAA club beside it, that distracted the young wans as they then want...

Restored 18th century warehouse-turned museum with archaeological exhibits & arts performances.

👍👍 A hill with a wealth of historical monuments. The Hill of Faughart is a low hill north of Dundalk and south of the Moyry Pass. It is said that St Bridget was born here and there is a holy well dedicated to her on this hill. The tree beside the well is decorated and the well is still in use for devot...

👍 By day its a local pub for local people with very good lunchtime grub. By evening time it's more a college pub. And it's close by the Marshes Shopping Centre and Matthews Dublin coach run, so it's an easy spot to avail of if you need a pint because you need to unwind after a long workshift, or a lon...

👍 An exceptionally historic (and important) monastic site, but now with not much to see - there is the topped round tower stump and the remains of a small church.

👍👍 The largest sundial in Ireland

👍👍 A very mystical spot that provides a quiet and prayerful getaway in the midst of a noisy town.

👍👍 Great hike and you can spot here crash site of B24

👍👍 Such a historic landmark. Made me emotional and gave me a spiritual experience standing next to the stone that Cu Chuliann is said to have died whilst strapped to. Check out the mythology before coming. It is regarded as a last stand and is used in many ways throughout history for it. The 1916 Easte...
