Tucked away in a leafy woodland setting on the Cooley Peninsula, you'll find @carlingfordbrewing

Carlingford Brewing Company is a small, independent craft brewery with big stories to tell. Enjoy one of their guided tours, where you'll learn about the legend of Donn Cúailnge (the Brown Bull of Cooley) and discover the Carlingford landmarks that inspired their beers.

Stay on for wood-fired pizza, craft beer straight from the source and maybe a cocktail or two on the heated terrace, blankets included. Live DJ sets light up the terrace on summer Saturdays. The old mill has also become a favourite spot for weddings and events, set against the woodland backdrop that makes the location so special. ✨
