Leprechaun and Fairy Underground Cavern

The tour includes 15 minutes of storytelling and an introduction to how the last leprechauns of Ireland became a protected species by the E.U..This is done in the story room across from the cavern at Shalom B.B.You may park there. This is followed by a visit below the ground where leprechauns and fairies converge in the morning as the sun rises. The visit is predominately indoors and definately great for a rainy day. It is not really suitable for children under 5 or who have not lost a tooth.If children are crying or disruptive, parents may be asked to leave with them till quiet, to allow other attendees to enjoy the whole experience. Adults should enjoy it at any age!

While the leprechaun cavern is closed due to COVID-19, it is still a lovely family stroll. There are nice monuments in the garden which provide lovely little photo opps with the kids. I’d say it’s a lovely spot when it’s fully functioning. I’ll definitely be heading back the next time I’m in Carlingford.

Carlingford to Omeath Greenway

Reviewed By MartinMaryOmeath - Omeath, Ireland

A beautiful walk all along Carlingford lough. Start at The Granvue Hotel in Omeath, enjoy the beautiful scenery all the way to Carlingford, watch the cyclist's. Have lunch in The Orchard Bakery, and walk back, 15k so about four hours with lunch. If going Carlingford to Omeath, make sure to call into Cafe Rosa in Omeath for lunch or coffee and fabulous pastries.

Quel surprise!!! We were greeted by Raymond, a superb host! We were shown to our fabulous room with amazing bay windows and superb bathroom with wet room shower and free standing bath. Amazing view overlooking the courtyard where I was able to lie on the chaise longue watching visitors come and go...and was jealous of those attending the amazing gin school!! We met Raymond at breakfast in the tearoom both mornings where we had fabulous coffee & croissants to compliment the continental breakfast. Raymond happily gave us on the history of Listoke which was so interesting. We then were given a tour of the gin school...A...MAZING!! Can't wait to re visit Listoke and experience a full Gin school experience!! Ps had the best relaxing time and went into Drogheda to a restaurant recommended by Raymond...soon good we went twice!! Have raved about this place all day and have already booked a friend in before I left. Raymond WE WILL BE BACK!! Thankyou
