PEBV Paintout Annagassan

Annagassan is a small costal village between Dundalk and Drogheda.  It hit the headlines in 2011 when remains of a Viking fotress were found.  It has since returned to its peaceful self. It is situated on the southern edge of Dundalk Bay, overlooked by the Cooley and Mourne Mountains.  There is a little pier, an old mill and a stone bridge over the River Glyde where it enters the sea.

We will meet in the Glyde Inn in the centre of the village for coffee/breakfast at 11 a.m. and return there about 3.30.  

To get to Annagassan from M1 – take Exit 15 for Castlebellingham.  When you reach the village of Castlebellingham turn right onto Drogheda road.  Take next left (signpost Clogherhead) R166 and continue to Annagassan.
