A bird’s eye view will bear witness to Dundalk town’s relationship to its bay, which is the most important site in Ireland for over-wintering birds. Against the breathtaking views of the Cooley Peninsula, land and sea gradually give way, one to the other. Dundalk is built where the Castletown River enters the estuary and then falls into one of the largest, shallowest bays in Ireland, a result of the last Ice Age, whose traces dominate our region’s landscape.
The Grey Heron is frequently seen wading in the shallows, where its eagle eyesight can spot small fish in the water, which it snatches with its long beak!
