Ever heard of a river born from a goddess? 💫🌊
The River Boyne takes its name from Boann, a Celtic goddess whose curiosity changed the landscape forever.

Legend says she approached the magical Well of Wisdom, forbidden to all but her husband, King Nechtain. One day, the waters, furious at her defiance, rose up and swept her away, creating the mighty Boyne in their wake.

Mystery, myth and magic...all flowing through the heart of Louth ✨

The Tholsel, once the town jail, stands as a silent reminder of medieval justice 🏰✨
The priory, built around 1305, witnessed the fury of history when it was destroyed by the Scottish army of Edward Bruce just ten years later. Indeed, in Carlingford history is never just a story: it’s all around you.

The mission today is to protect and enhance the fabric of the medieval village, so that generations to come can wander the ancient streets, feel the echoes of the past and fall in love with Carlingford 💙
