    Ever been up to the long woman’s grave in the cooley mountains? That’ll tire them out and then into carlingford for a walk around. It’s nice to walk around. There is a viking festival on in Annagasan soon, not sure if its this weekend or next. Might be worth checking out.
    Newgrange farm or newbridge house too.Or even Newgrange itself.

    i would stay away from newgrange farm,too deer for whats there.we are going to the phoenix park tomorrow but not to zoo or anything.there is a market in farmleigh house and we’ll check that out.then we will probably go to the playground there and wonder down to the wellington monument.not planning on spending much money.ardgillan is great.we bring their guns(boys and girls) and me and my husband use sticks and we play cowboys and indians in the woods.its so much fun.seems silly i know but it is fun and brings back loads of memories.

    Yeah , I think it’s around the ravensdale side of the mountains but it’s the kind of place you happen across and can never remember exactly where it is. It’s lovely driving around there and has great views out over Dundalk. You can drive up to the mast as they call it and it’s like being in Wicklow or the burren up there. Makes you forget ou’re in Louth. Probaably the most scenic part of Louth

    I know its stunning, my FIL had never been up this part (a wicklow man) he came out ot joes house with us and he was stunned at who beautiful Louth is, he said he would love a day out in carlingford but lord rest him he never made it.
    LOVE THE BURREN…… its like being on the moon (well what Id imagine the moon is like) 😆 😆 😆

    Angelmum we did the phoenix park a few weeks ago, watch the wellington mon loads of drinkers and tonnes of broken glass, not nice with small kids. We went to the popes cross and ds and dh rolled down the hill, it was ds’s best part of the day…. plus the deer were there and we walk out really really close to them, he was delighted.
    Great day out loads of things to do for Free and some great spots to sit and have a picnic…… all you need is the weather good luck

    That sounds like a great day, kids love days like that and so does your pocket 😆 😆 😆 Farmleigh is brilliant, its well worth the money we invested in it, but great that they use it and there is always something on for the public,

    We went to Ardgillian, it was packed…. ds2 was in the playground for nearly 2 hours!!!! He would have stayed longer but he was getting cranky and tired. We had a picnic on the grass (the food gave him booster energy 😆 😆 😆 😆 ) Then we went all around the walled gardens and rose garden…. they were eating sweet peas and gooseberries 🙄

    we spent the weekend in the back garden, painting, weeding and tidying it up 🙂

    We had been waiting on a dry weekend for about 2 months to get the decking and shed painted, sowe were very lucky this weekend to get it done, badly needed it!!

    My back is KILLING me now though 🙄
