Slieve Foye is a 1.6 mile moderately trafficked out and back trail located near Carlingford, County Louth, Ireland that features beautiful wild flowers and is rated as moderate. The trail is primarily used for hiking and is accessible year-round.
Easy trails with great views, and some hidden side paths which offer a larger variety of terrain. Note: pay attention to signs where dogs are not allowed, as free roaming sheep are in those areas, and farmers, being protective of their sheep, take loose dogs very seriously, especially during lambing season. Dogs are not allowed on this mountain at all.
Beautiful wall, not so hard, but need some preparation, grippy boots as the trail goes slippery with mud, wet rocks by the river and waterfalls.
I'd give Slieve Foy a 5star rating but not this hike! I actually wasn't able to find this trailhead as it was obscured by campers' tents -- so wound up doing a lovely long hike along the Tain Way almost to Carlingford, then came up Slieve Foy from the side. The views were absolutely magnificent. Got back down to the car park using this trail which was *very* steep (and this was downhill! Can't imagine enjoying it at all on the way up), flooded in areas next to the spring that flows all the way down the mountain, and very very poorly signposted. Definitely hike Slieve Foy but I would recommend not using this trail to get up there...
Hiked this mountain a few times as we had to host a cub county hike for 9-12 year olds. once with snow.moderate is a fair assessment, great veiws from eagles rock.. though can be very windy at times. you can also map out a longer hike to include the mountain we managed 20k. enjoyable hike.
(Correction as to location- this is near Carlingford NOT Castlebellingham.) Easy trials with great views, and some hidden side paths which offer a larger variety of terrain. Dogs are welcome on the lower trails, but pay attention to signs where dogs are not allowed, as free roaming sheep are in those areas, and farmer, being protective of their sheep, take loose dogs very seriously, especially during lambing season.
