About Clogherhead
Clogherhead is a coastal village on the east coast of County Louth, north of Drogheda, with a strong fishing and seaside character. It is compact and largely residential, with homes clustered around the harbour, village centre and the scenic Clogher Head peninsula. Residents have beaches, coastal walks and sea views close at hand, while the wider area remains relatively rural, extending towards Dunany, Termonfeckin and Togher. Clogherhead National School serves local primary-age children, with secondary schools and further education available mainly in Drogheda. The village has local shops, cafés and pubs, including The Fishermans Bar, while a broader choice of restaurants, supermarkets and services is available in Drogheda. Bus Éireann services provide connections towards Drogheda, from where rail services on the Dublin–Belfast line support commuting. Leisure is centred on the coast, Clogherhead Beach and community sports, with the harbour and the prominent Clogher Head lighthouse among the area’s best-known landmarks.
