    Moody and atmospheric Norman castle just across the NI border in Eire. Instantly transports you to a medieval moment - or to Westeros if you’re so inclined. Park on the road and walk through the gate to get tip to the castle - don’t expect a parking lot or ticket booth!

    A childhood stomping ground we used to throw stones on top to make a wish and one time the combined effort of 4 lads would not budge it. Fascinating to think who built this, why and who is beneath. The cooley peninsula holds a gem here. Love it

    It was St Brigids day and although it was cold it was dry. We had a lovely experience there. We visited St Brigid’s shrine and her well. It was very busy but we managed it all on.

    A beautiful Pond full of Ducks to have a little walk around (5 mins walk) suitable for all ages and abilities
    Loads of resting places around lake for a picnic
    Excellent playground for all age groups, children visible throughout the whole playgroup for parents to sit and relax while keeping an eye on children
    Lovely little bits and pieces of the Fairies dotted around the pond

    Attended my second wedding in this church after 28 years.. I had forgotten how beautiful it was. And on a freezing day it was lovely and warm inside.

    Steeped in the history of the troubles that took place in Northern Ireland, the cries of punishment beatings handed down to disobedient members of extremist groups can still be heard on the wind, echoing through the alleys and laneways of the intimidating confines of Muirhevnamore. The friendly neighbours, whose houses may well have become make-shift interrogation centres once upon a time, are all too willing to offer a re-enactment free of charge for that immersive experience into the grim realities of Dundalk circa 1960 - 1998.

    Decades later, Muirhevnamore still toils it's way through the fallout of a disenfranchised generation; still rife with unemployment, addiction, social and nationalist aggression, in addition to a general defiance of the law. It's certainly not everybody's cup-of-tea, and it's not advised to wear a balaclava when you visit. Such an act might give off the wrong impression. If you want to see the brutal realities of the repercussions of a civil war however, look no further than Muirhevnamore.

    Also known as Cu Chulainn's Castle and as we have visited the Giants Causeway of Finn MaCool fame, we decided we should pay a visit here as well.
    There is no parking or even signposting here so it can be tricky to access the pathway. But once that is solved it is a short walk up a steep drive to the remains of the Castle. The kids enjoyed running around and trying to work out which bit was the living room etc. Quite a bit of broken glass and evidence of small fires in the grounds.
