"Quiet Carlingford" Carlingford by oneonta_ni

My sister's visit in 2004 happened to coincide with my 40th birthday. I decided to plan a nice little break for us in a place I had wanted to visit for quite some time now. My original plan was to go horseriding on the day of my birthday (my favourite tradition - next to eating cake!) but as my sister decided she would not look like a supermodel wearing my spare pair of jodhpurs and my husband hates horses, I had to postpone that little excursion.

At any rate, we had a really lovely time - all the lovlier for the very pleasant weather and delicious food at my birthday dinner in Ghan House. Made turning 40 a bit more fun.

• Pros:Really lovely scenery, great food and tranquility
• Cons:Might be a bit too quiet for some.
• In a nutshell:Beautiful base for exploring this part of Ireland
