This caches brings you to the village of Clogherhead for a short walk along the beach
Clogherhead offers so much to both locals and visitors with plenty to see and do all year round. Clogherhead peninsula located just north of the village is designated a Natural Heritage Area under the 1997 Louth County Development Plan. The headland affords uninterrupted views of the Cooley and Mourne Mountains 30km to the north and to Lambay Island 35km to the south. It is a preferred location for all types of activities including, fishing, walking, sightseeing and water based activities.
The village is in close proximity to the historic town of Drogheda, the Boyne Valley and Newgrange Heritage site. It is an excellent location for a weekend break or a longer holiday for touring the many other attractions of the county.
The village developed around the fishing industry with the waters of Clogherhead reputed as being the best fishing waters in the country. The harbour, known as Port Oriel was built in 1885. It was extensively enlarged and re-opened in 2007.
The cache
There is ample parking at the beach near the RNLI lifeboat station. I'm sure it goes without saying but do not park blocking access to the lifeboat station.
Then a short walk along a beautiful sandy beach for the cache, simple as that :)
The cache is a small tupperware box containing log only so please byop. This area is very popular with muggles so please be discreet. Please replace the cache exactly as found after logging the find.
If you are using a vehicle satnav it will probably try to take you into the caravan park. This is private property (unless you are fortunate enough to own or be staying in one of the caravans)
this was once part of a series called louth beaches, that series is now defunct and the bonus cache is now archived so please ignore the code contained in the cache
