Carlingford Marina

Construction of Carlingford Marina started in the 1980s and the landslide buildings were completed in 2001. The Marina is home to a unique Concrete Ship - Cretegaff - commissioned in 1917 and launched in 1920. It is the last surviving floating example of 66 concrete ships launched in the Uk between 1918 and 1920. There will also be a comfort break and an opportunity to have a drink at the Rabelo Bistro at the Marina. The Marina is also home to OnYerBike bike hire and so there will be a final bike safety check before the group depart.

30 minutes • Admission Ticket Included

Carlingford Lough Greenway

The Marina is the start point for the Carlingford Lough Greenway which runs 7km along the trackbed of the old Dundalk, Newry and Greenore Railway. There are many railway relics to spot but the real beauty of the Carlingford Lough Greenway is the breathtaking scenery around Lough itself, the Mourne and Cooley Mountains.

Omeath

Whilst plans are afoot to extend the Greenway, today it ends at Omeath Pier. There are amazing views here across the Lough to Warrenpoint and Rostrevor and a chance to take a comfort break, replenish water supplies and learn a little about the fascinating history of Omeath

The Long Woman's Grave

If there is a single reason to have a fabulous eBike, it is to cycle up the hill out of Omeath to Long Woman's Grave, an ascent of 289 metres. At the summit of the road at Windy Gap is Long Woman's Grave and you'll learn all about the history of how a very tall lady ended up being buried there !

15 minutes • Admission Ticket Included

Lady Well, Templetown

An enjoyable descent from Long Woman's Grave will take us to Templetown, so named because this is where The Knights Templar were based to protect the pilgrims on the Camino. Here you will visit Medieval Kilwirra Church (ruins) and 'Blue Flag'Templetown Beach. As a point of interest, President Joe Biden visited Kilwirra Church on his state visit to his ancestral home in 2016 when he was Vice President. There is so much to see on this tour !

30 minutes • Admission Ticket Free

From Templetown we will cycle to Whitestown and then on to the picturesque Ballagan shore. Depending in the day, we should be able to visit the famous Lily Finnegan's coastal Irish pub in Whitestown - famous for the fact that it is just a fabulous traditional Irish pub and because President Joe Biden's cousins are locals. Joe Biden's ancestors emigrated from Whitestown to the USA during the Famine. Lots of local characters to meet here !

30 minutes • Admission Ticket Free

St James Well, Muchgrange

When St James visited the Cooley Peninsula he drank from a well at Muchgrange. Whilst enjoying a sip or two of delicious Cooley Mountain water, the Devil danced around him, leaving his footprints in the stone around the well. You will see these yourself

15 minutes • Admission Ticket Included

Greenore

A unique 'model village' built by the London & North Western Railway Company in Victorian Times to house the workers that built Greenore Port and the Dundalk, Newry and Greenore Railway. There is much to do and see and whilst in Greenore learn about the history. There are cafes in Greenore, a golf club and the original Victorian buildings are in splendid condition. The Carlingford Lough Ferry departs from Greenore across the Lough to Greencastle in Northern Ireland (which forms part of another full day tour!). Whilst not guaranteed to be seen, a solitary bottle-nosed dolphin named Finn took up residence in Carlingford Lough last year and is often seen from the shoreline.
