Introducing County Louth
The Wee County is a sobriquet borne with pride round these hardscrabble parts. And if you don’t like it, well, take this! The coast has an industrial legacy but Drogheda is emerging from its sweaty past to become an appealing regional town and a good base for visiting nearby Brú na Bóinne, just over the border in County Meath. Other attractions include the prehistoric and monastic sites north and east of the Boyne Valley, such as Mellifont Abbey and Monasterboice. In the north, there’s the lonely and evocative Cooley Peninsula, north of Dundalk.
