The Story of Co. Louth

Ireland’s smallest county, Louth, Lú, packs in an extraordinary depth of history along the Cooley Peninsula, the setting of the great epic Táin Bó Cúailnge. At Monasterboice stand some of Ireland’s finest high crosses, and nearby Mellifont was the country’s first Cistercian abbey; a small county with an outsized past.
