  • Carlingford Lough Boat Trail
    Carlingford Lough Boat Trail LOUGHS AGENCY EARNING A WELCOME 1. Please be friendly and polite to local residents and other water users. 2. Drive with care and consideration and park sensibly. 3. Change clothing discreetly (preferably out of public view). 4. Gain permission before going on to private property. 5. Minimise your impact on the natural environment and use recognised access points. There are many unofficial access points which could be used with the owner’s consent. 6. Be sensitive to wildlife and other users regarding the level of noise you create. 7. Observe wildlife from a distance and be aware of sensitive locations such as bird nest sites, bird roosts, seals on land and wintering wildfowl and wader concentrations. 8. Follow the principles of ‘Leave No Trace’. For more information visit:- www.leavenotraceireland.org 9. Keep the numbers in your party consistent with safety, the nature of the water conditions and the impact on your surroundings. 10. Biosecurity: sailors must help stop the spread of invasive species threatening our waterways and coasts! Wash and thoroughly dry boats, trailers and all other kit after a trip. Desiccation is effective against most invasive species, countering their serious environmental and economic impacts. WILDLIFE Carlingford Lough is frequented by otters and seals. In 2016, a bow head whale was spotted off the mouth of the lough and basking shark and dolphin have been reported. Boat fishing for Tope (a shark) and other species is popular in the area. Waders and wildfowl (often breeding in the arctic) winter here, feeding on mudflats as the tide recedes.

  • Louth County Council
    Louth County Council Establishment of Groundwater Source Protection Zones Termonfeckin Water Supply Scheme Termonfeckin Borehole Groundwater Source Protection Zones November 2011 Revision: E Prepared by: Peter Conroy On behalf of the Geological Survey of Ireland With contributions from: Dr. Robert Meehan, Consultant Geologist; Jenny Deakin TCD; Natalya Hunter Williams, GSI And with assistance from: Louth County Council Geological Survey of Ireland Termonfeckin Public Water Supply Groundwater Source Protection Zones PROJECT DESCRIPTION Since the 1980’s, the Geological Survey of Ireland (GSI) has undertaken a considerable amount of work developing Groundwater Protection Schemes throughout the country. Groundwater Source Protection Zones are the surface and subsurface areas surrounding a groundwater source, i.e. a well, wellfield or spring, in which water and contaminants may enter groundwater and move towards the source. Knowledge of where the water is coming from is critical when trying to interpret water quality data at the groundwater source. The Source Protection Zone also provides an area in which to focus further investigation and is an area where protective measures can be introduced to maintain or improve the quality of groundwater. Louth County Council contracted GSI to delineate source protection zones for eight groundwater public water supply sources in Co. Louth. The sources comprised Ardee, Cooley (Carlingford and Ardtullybeg), Collon, Greenore, Termonfeckin, Omeath (Esmore Bridge and Lislea Cross), Drybridge and Killineer. This report documents the delineation of the Termonfeckin source protection zones. A suite of maps and digital GIS layers accompany this report and the reports and maps are hosted on the GSI website (www.gsi.ie). i i Geological Survey of Ireland Termonfeckin Public Water Supply Groundwater Source Protection Zones TABLE OF CONTENTS 1 INTRODUCTION .............................................................................................................................

The area includes the majority of the town’s protected structures. Historical Development of the Area The town takes its name from the Irish - Ath Fhirdia, the ford on the river Dee where the legendary hero Cúchulainn fought and defeated his friend Ferdia in the course of the Táin Bo Cuailnge. In medieval times it was an important Norman walled town. Character Ardee is now an attractive broad-street town, and the commercial centre for its hinterland. The main street is lined by good houses, two and three storeys in height, with some interesting shopfronts, and is distinguished by two late medieval tower houses. The south end of the area features a pleasant riverside walk and some attractive rubble stone warehousing. Materials The prevailing materials in Ardee, as in most Irish small towns, are slated roofs and plastered facades with timber windows and shopfronts. The two tower houses and churches are of stone, while there are a small number of brick buildings, notably the Bank of Ireland and Hamills with decorative trim. Draft Louth County Development Plan 2009 - 2015 26 Appendix 5 Views Views up and down the street are dominated by Ardee Castle, while to the south the rich agricultural lands of mid-Louth can be seen.

    Louth County Council LANDSCAPE CHARACTER ASSESSMENT DECEMBER 2002 Landscape Character Assessment 2nd December 2002 Landscape Character Assessment Background Earlier Development Plans designated some areas of the County with the perception that landscapes are romantic in character. Definitions like, sublime, outstanding, high scenic quality etc have been used to categorise particular areas in this and other counties. In 1977, the then Foras Forbartha published an inventory of outstanding landscapes in Ireland. In that document three such areas were identified in Louth: (a) Carlingford Mountains – Flurrybridge to Grange Cross (b) Clogherhead – from the village to the port (c) Boyne Valley – a small part of which is in County Louth. Outside of these areas the general description would have been rural or farmland. In the publication “Landscape and Landscape assessment – Consultation Draft Guidelines for Planning Authorities” published by the D.O.E. in June 2000, a new format is proposed. The guidelines suggest that the proposed method of assessment allows for a much more proactive approach to Landscape. The new policy shall have regard to the following: The National Sustainable Development Strategy. Regional Planning Policies (which to date have been economic in nature). Louth is in the Border Region, along with Monaghan, Cavan, Leitrim, Sligo and Donegal. Areas of Development potential (existing towns and Development Centres). Strategies for newer forms of development, such as wind farms and telecommunications masts. Capacity of the landscape to sustain development. New roads and housing. Forestry. New agri-environmental schemes. National Spatial Strategy. It is proposed that the County should be divided into a number of landscape character areas.
