Carlingford Castle and lunch

Cost: 8:50 euros

Come and join us for this interesting trip to the lovely medieval town of Carlingford, including a guided tour of St. John's Castle and lunch at McKevitts' in the centre of Carlingford.

Carlingford Castle's west wing was built in the late 12th century by Hugh de Lacy, Lord of Meath shortly after the Norman invasion of Ireland. It acquired the name "King John's Castle" after King John, Lord of Ireland, supposedly stayed there for three days in 1210, during his second expedition, when he invaded Ulster to apprehend Hugh de Lacy, 1st Earl of Ulster. Local myth claims that he began to draft Magna Carta (agreed in 1215) at Carlingford.
