Tullagh Bog

In this bog high up on the mountains turf cutting still goes on. For many years horse and carts transported the turf around towns and villages in North Louth. The loads were transported around the road known as the New Line and over Tullagh Bridge, which was built during famine times by local craftsmen who were paid the price of one penny per day for their labour. This bridge has stood the test of time and can still be seen high in the mountains overlooking Omeath.
