Without a doubt three of Ireland's best Scenic Driving & Cycling routes are located around Carlingford Lough which is Ireland's north eastern boundary between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.

Carlingford Lough, the midway point between Belfast and Dublin just over an hour's drive from both cities is a scenic wonderland with mountains, valleys, woodlands, forests, lakes, sandy beaches and rivers to enjoy from the many viewpoints and picnic areas that you will encounter as you go. Small towns and villages can be found nestled along the mountain roads and coastline and all with their own unique charm and a hearty welcome for all visitors.
