McArdles Pub is a family favorite that happens to be owned by a cousin of the McNultys, Sean McArdle. Fun Fact: It was in this pub that Cody asked for Dan McNultys permission to marry Claire (a year before he proposed)!
Shevlin's

Shevlins Pub is another family favorite in town. You will most likely find Brian Shevlin behind the bar- hes sure to have a story or two about Claire and Cody!
If you are in need of a quick meal, or better yet, the best drunk food Ireland has to offer - stop in at Brunos for a kebab tray. Claires favorite is the Chicken Kebab Tray and Codys is the Doner Kebab Tray. This restaurant storefront also does burgers and fish & chips! Cash only :)
Dún a Rí Forest Park
R179, Mullantra, Kingscourt, Co. Cavan, Ireland
The 565 acre Dún na Rí Forest Park is just outside Kingscourt along the banks of the River Cabra and features a dramatic gorge embracing part of the Cabra Estate. There are four walks of approximately 1.5-2km in length all with points of interest and plentiful, varied wildlife. Some more unusual highlights of a visit to Dún na Rí are the Ice House, Toba na Splinne Holy Well and Cromwell’s Bridge. The ruins of Flemings Castle can still be seen as well as Sarahs Well. Sarahs Bridge, built in 1801, is the starting point of many of the walks in the park.

When in Dublin, be sure to check out the Guinness Storehouse at the start or end of your trip. It is a great way to pour the perfect pint, learn more about the history of Guinness, and enjoy your drink on the 7th floor with a view of the city. I would recommend buying your tickets online ahead of time to ensure they are not sold out!
Another great stop in Dublin is the Jameson Distillery, which is the original site where Jameson Irish Whiskey was distilled until 1971. As we know, the Irish like to drink so be sure to buy your tickets in advance for this tour too!

Carlingford is a town of charm and contrasts that is about an hour drive from Cabra Castle. Cozy medieval lanes and cobbled streets lined with boutiques, modern Irish restaurants, traditional pubs, pretty tea rooms, and street-food trucks – all framed by architectural detail layered over the centuries and with the protective presence of the Slieve Foye mountain watching over.
