Geocache Description:

This should be a quick cache and dash at Port Oriel on the outskirts of Clogherhead.

The fishing village of Clogherhead is located on the east coast of Ireland in the County of Louth, approximately 70km north of Dublin.

Clogherhead is 12km from the town of Drogheda, which can be accessed off the M1 Dublin/Belfast motorway.

Take the road from Drogheda to Termonfeckin and continue on to Clogherhead village.

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 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.

Visitors are more than welcome to explore Port Oriel and savour the super views from the area. Please bear in mind though, that this is a working port and exercise caution at all times near the waters edge. The cache is placed away from the main pier where there is more likely to be fishermen and other muggles though you are welcome to walk down the main pier if you so wish.
Keep your eyes open for the family of sealions that call Port Oriel home.
The cache is a small tupperware box containing log only so please byop. The old pier near GZ is rarely used by port workers anymore since the new pier was built but the area is still very popular with muggle walkers. Please replace cache exactly as found after logging the find

Other caches in the area are as follows;
999 Clogherhead Lifeboat Station
Clogherhead Cliff Walk
Louth Beaches #7; Clogherhead
