What to expect?

Situated in the North of County Dublin, Louth is a highly historical region, where the Battle of the Boyne took place, as well as the siege of Drogheda during the Cromwelian conquests. Nowadays County Louth is a slightly less popular region than its Dublin neighbour… Nevertheless the area is full of possibilities and places to visit!
