Camlough Lake is picturesquely nestled between the rolling hills of Slieve Gullion and the Ring of Gullion. Cycling along the narrow roads on the shore, you immediately feel the tranquility that emanates from the long stretch of water. The lake stretches for more than two kilometers and seems like a narrow, silent crack in the landscape - a peaceful place to take a short break or let your gaze wander over the water. I decided to take a little detour and cycled a little closer to the shore on a path. The water was almost still and reflected the range of hills that rise in the background. It may be a paradise for fishermen, but cyclists also enjoy the special atmosphere. The roads around the lake are not very busy and you can cycle in a relaxed manner without having to constantly pay attention to the traffic. One small criticism: some of the access roads are not well signposted, but if you look around a bit, you'll surely find a good place to get to the shore and enjoy the scenery.

On the way through the Giant's Lair you will be immersed in Irish legends. As soon as you pass under the artistically carved archway, a magical world opens up in which the story of Finn McCool comes to life. The path leads you and the whole family through four chapters that bring the world of legend to life with lovingly designed stations. For the little ones it is an exciting treasure hunt - at every bend there are new clues waiting for them, which they eagerly discover. While they run ahead to find the next adventure, there is enough time for you to enjoy the lush nature. The dense trees, the mosses and the ancient carvings make you forget everyday life. You are in the middle of a story that unfolds further with every step.

Perfectly placed on the beautiful Shores of Carlingford Lough, this was a 13th century Norman keep, a replacement tower house and bawn was built at Narrow Water in the 16th century. The replacement structure, built in the 1560's, was a typical example of the tower houses built throughout Ireland at the time. The castle was damaged during the Irish Rebellion of 1641, and sold to the Hall family in the 1670's. It was occupied by the Hall family until they built an "Elizabethan revival style" mansion in the early 19th century. This Mansion is also called Narrow Water Castle.

Beautiful spot for photos at sunrise or sunset.

The site can trace its roots back to the 6th century when a monastery for nuns was founded by St. Moninna. The ruins of the two joined churches that can still be seen date from the 11th and the 15th century. Look for the large slab which is said to be St Moninna's grave.

Here, many centuries ago, St. Moninna sought a place of peace and worship in the late 5th century and founded an early Christian community. Although no buildings remain from their time - for they were made of wood, a testament to their humble existence - the ground itself tells stories of a bygone era. As the wind blows through the grasses, one can almost hear the echoes of prayers and chants that once echoed in these hallowed halls. The visible evidence of history are the ruins of two churches. The West Church, built in the 11th century, bears the traces of a time of deep faith and cultural change. A few steps further rises the Eastern Church from the 15th century, a silent witness to the late medieval period, which was marked by religious and social changes. The monastery founded here functioned not only as a spiritual place, but also as a center of learning and community. Founded in 517 AD by St Moninna, it gained a reputation as one of the most important nunneries in medieval Ireland. It became a beacon of knowledge and devotion in a time often marked by turmoil and uncertainty.

The west church dates from the 11th century and the east church from the 15th century. It is also the site of an early monastery founded by St Moninna in 517 as one of the most important nunneries in medieval Ireland.
