About Dundalk

Dundalk sits just 7 kilometres from the Northern Ireland border, perfectly positioned between Dublin and Belfast on the M1 motorway. The county town of Louth serves as a handy stopping point for cross-island travel, with good connections west to Athlone and Galway via the M1, plus regional routes like the R173 through the lovely Cooley Peninsula to Carlingford. The town centre revolves around Clanbrassil Street, with hourly Enterprise trains running both directions on the Dublin-Belfast line. The bronze statue of Cuchulainn in the main square pays tribute to the legendary Ulster warrior's ties to ancient Louth.
