Dettagli
Accesso
Park your car in Carlingford town. If possible avoid weekends as this is a touristic area and the town is very busy during weekends. Check the tides - during low tide birds will be far away and you will need telescope to spot them. Take a walk along the road looking at the louth - plenty of birds to be seen.
