Kilkeel Attractions
Kilkeel is a favorite haunt of anglers, with good catches to be had not only from the sea and the River Kilkeel but also nearby Carlingford Lough. Around Kilkeel are a number of prehistoric chambered tombs.
Greencastle guarded the entrance to Carlingford Lough during the Medieval era. In 1316 it was attacked by Edward Bruce. Later in the 14th C. it was again attacked. Eventually it was kept as a garrison for Elizabeth I.
