Louth Ireland

Greenore is a village of late 19^th century developed during 1873 at the mouth of Carlingford Lough following the commissioning of the railway connecting Newry and Dundalk. There already was a port opened in 1867 for travel and freight to the west coast of Britain. Even when many ports and railways were closed down in 1951, this amenity still survived facilitating shipment of cattle and other consignments to Britain and Europe. There are excellent sights of Carlingford Lough, Silve Foy and the Mourne mountains. Fishing on a sea shore and Golf in the Greenore Golf Club are other popular attractions in this place. An international festival is due every year, and the forest park at Ravensdale has walks and nature trials to guide visitors during sight seeing.
