Upon entering the village of Castlebellingham, you are welcomed by the impressive gatehouse of Bellingham Castle. This robust, castle-like structure with its battlements and characteristic arched gateway forms the historic entrance to the extensive Bellingham family estate. The castle itself, dating back to the 17th century, breathes the atmosphere of the Irish nobility.

From your vantage point on the edge of the bay, you can enjoy a magnificent view over the vast Dundalk Bay. In clear weather, you can see the rugged contours of the Cooley Mountains to the north and the Mourne Mountains rising behind them. The bay is an important nature reserve, where the tide plays a fascinating game with the sandbanks and mudflats. An ideal spot to dismount, breathe in the salty sea air, and take in the expansive Irish coastal landscape before setting course for your next destination.

When the tide is out at Port Beach, the huge expanse of golden sand is a stunning place to take a walk. Especially at sunrise and sunset, it's a pleasure to behold.

Port Beach is a beautiful expanse of golden sand. There is a lifeguard during swimming months, so having a dip in the sea is highly advised.

Excellent view over Dundalk bay and the road is very quiet, nice spot for a picnic by the water too. Just note it may smell a bit fishy at times
