Cooley Peninsula
Coordinates: 54°2′4″N 6°13′36″W / 54.03444°N 6.22667°W / 54.03444; -6.22667
The Cooley Peninsula (from Irish: Cuaille, older Cuailghe) is a hilly peninsula in County Louth, Ireland, which includes towns such as Omeath, Carlingford and Greenore.
Geography
The peninsula contains the Cooley Mountains, the highest of which, Slieve Foy, is also the highest peak in County Louth at 588m. To the north is Carlingford Lough and the border with Northern Ireland; to the south is Dundalk Bay. The peninsula is ringed by the R173 regional road.
The peninsula is geologically diverse, with 440-million-year-old Silurian greywacke sandstones in the north west and south west, 340-million-year-old limestones in the east, and 60-million-year-old volcanic rocks forming the Cooley Mountains.
Antiquity
In Irish mythology Cooley (Old Irish Cúalnge) was the home of the bull Donn Cúailnge, and the site of the Táin Bó Cúailnge or Cattle Raid of Cooley. Ancient monuments in Cooley include the Proleek Dolmen, whose capstone weighs an estimated 46 tons (46.7 tonnes), and a Bronze Age gallery grave, both near Ballymascanlon.

Barmeath Castle stands proudly on the sheltered slopes of a wooded hillside in County Louth, looking out over the park to the mountains of the Cooley Peninsula and a wide panorama of the Irish sea. The Bellew family was banished to Connacht by Cromwell but acquired the Barmeath estate in settlement of an unpaid bill. The medieval tower house was twice remodelled and extended, and was subsequently crenellated in the neo-Norman style.

Reputedly Queen Maeve established a camp at Barmeath before her legendary cattle raid, which culminated in the capture the Brown Bull of Cooley, as recounted in the famous epic poem, The Tain. Indeed the name Barmeath is said to derive from the Gaelic Bearna Mheabh or Maeve’s Pass.
The Bellew family, among the first Normans in Ireland, settled at Castle Roche on the border between County Louth and the neighbouring county of Armagh. The family expanded into different branches until John Bellew of Lisryan fought against Cromwell, lost his estates and was banished to Connacht. A wily lawyer, trained at the English bar, Bellew appears to have retained his Louth connections while living and marrying in County Galway, since he was engaged by the dispossessed Theobald Taaffe, Lord Carlingford, to represent him at the Court of Claims on the Restoration of King Charles II.
An ardent royalist, Carlingford had also lost his estates by supporting Charles I and was in high favour with the new king. Their friendship gave Bellew a considerable advantage when pleading his client’s cause and he successfully negated an award of 10,000 acres in reparation. Instead of paying Bellew’s bill for £700, which seems more than a little excessive, Carlingford gave him a portion of his newly acquired estates, consisting of 2,000 acres at Barmeath where the previous owners, the Moore family, had built a tower house in the fifteenth century.
A two-storey wing was added in around 1700 and was followed, towards the middle of the century, by a large three-storey Georgian house, incorporating the walls of the original tower. The plain exterior is a perfect foil for the rich interior, which is particularly notable for the quality of the joinery, carving and plasterwork. The great mahogany staircase, with Corinthian balusters and a heavy, swooping handrail that culminates in a luxuriously exaggerated spiral, is particularly fine as are the landing and library on the piano nobile, where the bookcase doors with their complicated geometric astragals are separated by ionic pilasters and surmounted by broken pediments.
The library ceiling is remarkable for an impressive array of Masonic symbols in the rococo plaster ceiling. Lodge meetings were held in this room until a Papal dictat obliged the owner to absent himself in deference to his religious beliefs, though he still permitted his fellow Masons to continue their meetings until his death.
In the early nineteenth century the first Lord Bellew commissioned a Hertfordshire architect, Thomas Smith, to turn the house into a neo-Norman castle with crenellations, round corner turrets and a tall square tower at one end of the side elevation, which became the new principal entrance. Smith also remodelled some of the interiors in a restrained Gothick style.
The lake and pleasure grounds were designed by the garden designer and polymath, Thomas Wright of Durham (1711-1785), who visited Ireland in 1746 at the invitation of Lord Limerick and designed a series of garden buildings on his estate at Tollymore in County Down. Wright explored 'the wee county' extensively and his book "Louthiana", which describes and illustrates many of its archaeological sites, is among the earliest surveys of its type. His preoccupation with Masonic ‘craft’ indicates that Wright is likely to have been a Freemason, which probably helped to cement his friendship with the Bellew of the day. He may well have influenced the design for the Barmeath library and indeed the mid-eighteenth century house.
Wright’s highly original layout, which is contemporary with the house, is remarkably complete and important, and deserves to be more widely known. It includes a small lake, an archery ground, a maze, a hermitage, a shell house and a rustic bridge, while the four-acre walled garden has recently been restored.
John Bellew’s son Patrick was High Sheriff of Louth and was made a baronet by James II. The seventh baronet, another Patrick and MP for County Louth, was created an Irish peer in 1844. The present owner, Bryan, the 8th Lord Bellew of Barmeath, is John Bellew’s direct descendant.

Barmeath Castle stands proudly on the sheltered slopes of a wooded hillside in County Louth, looking out over the park to the mountains of the Cooley Peninsula and a wide panorama of the Irish sea. The Bellew family was banished to Connacht by Cromwell but acquired the Barmeath estate in settlement of an unpaid bill. The medieval tower house was twice remodelled and extended, and was subsequently crenellated in the neo-Norman style. The extensive rococo pleasure grounds were designed by the visionary architect, Thomas Wright of Durham, and include an ornamental lake, a rustic bridge, an archery ground and an unusually large walled garden.

Reputedly Queen Maeve established a camp at Barmeath before her legendary cattle raid, which culminated in the capture the Brown Bull of Cooley, as recounted in the famous epic poem, The Tain. Indeed the name Barmeath is said to derive from the Gaelic Bearna Mheabh or Maeve’s Pass.
The Bellew family, among the first Normans in Ireland, settled at Castle Roche on the border between County Louth and the neighbouring county of Armagh. The family expanded into different branches until John Bellew of Lisryan fought against Cromwell, lost his estates and was banished to Connacht. A wily lawyer, trained at the English bar, Bellew appears to have retained his Louth connections while living and marrying in County Galway, since he was engaged by the dispossessed Theobald Taaffe, Lord Carlingford, to represent him at the Court of Claims on the Restoration of King Charles II.
An ardent royalist, Carlingford had also lost his estates by supporting Charles I and was in high favour with the new king. Their friendship gave Bellew a considerable advantage when pleading his client’s cause and he successfully negated an award of 10,000 acres in reparation. Instead of paying Bellew’s bill for £700, which seems more than a little excessive, Carlingford gave him a portion of his newly acquired estates, consisting of 2,000 acres at Barmeath where the previous owners, the Moore family, had built a tower house in the fifteenth century.
A two-storey wing was added in around 1700 and was followed, towards the middle of the century, by a large three-storey Georgian house, incorporating the walls of the original tower. The plain exterior is a perfect foil for the rich interior, which is particularly notable for the quality of the joinery, carving and plasterwork. The great mahogany staircase, with Corinthian balusters and a heavy, swooping handrail that culminates in a luxuriously exaggerated spiral, is particularly fine as are the landing and library on the piano nobile, where the bookcase doors with their complicated geometric astragals are separated by ionic pilasters and surmounted by broken pediments.
The library ceiling is remarkable for an impressive array of Masonic symbols in the rococo plaster ceiling. Lodge meetings were held in this room until a Papal dictat obliged the owner to absent himself in deference to his religious beliefs, though he still permitted his fellow Masons to continue their meetings until his death.
In the early nineteenth century the first Lord Bellew commissioned a Hertfordshire architect, Thomas Smith, to turn the house into a neo-Norman castle with crenellations, round corner turrets and a tall square tower at one end of the side elevation, which became the new principal entrance. Smith also remodelled some of the interiors in a restrained Gothick style.
The lake and pleasure grounds were designed by the garden designer and polymath, Thomas Wright of Durham (1711-1785), who visited Ireland in 1746 at the invitation of Lord Limerick and designed a series of garden buildings on his estate at Tollymore in County Down. Wright explored 'the wee county' extensively and his book "Louthiana", which describes and illustrates many of its archaeological sites, is among the earliest surveys of its type. His preoccupation with Masonic ‘craft’ indicates that Wright is likely to have been a Freemason, which probably helped to cement his friendship with the Bellew of the day. He may well have influenced the design for the Barmeath library and indeed the mid-eighteenth century house.
Wright’s highly original layout, which is contemporary with the house, is remarkably complete and important, and deserves to be more widely known. It includes a small lake, an archery ground, a maze, a hermitage, a shell house and a rustic bridge, while the four-acre walled garden has recently been restored.
John Bellew’s son Patrick was High Sheriff of Louth and was made a baronet by James II. The seventh baronet, another Patrick and MP for County Louth, was created an Irish peer in 1844. The present owner, Bryan, the 8th Lord Bellew of Barmeath, is John Bellew’s direct descendant.

A trek of over 17 km across the Cooley Mountains in Co. Louth, Ireland, taking in 7 summits. The route we followed traverses a landscape replete with legend and megalithic monuments. It overlooks the impressive Carlingford fjord, and is opposite the mighty Mourne Mountains that really do 'sweep down to the sea' from this vantage point.

Kilwirra / Cill Mhuire Cemetery
The old graveyard and church ruins is situated at Templetown on the Cooley Peninsula surrounded by farmland nestled in the Cooley Mountains. The name Kilwirra is derived from the Irish 'Cill Mhuire' which means Mary's Church. The site is associated with the Knights Templar which was founded in 1118 by Hugh de Payens. The ancient graveyard contains Templar graves with the insignia of the cross and the lamb.
US Vice President Biden visited the old Kilwirra Cemetery during this visit in June 2016 where his great-great grandfather Owen Finnegan and his family were baptized and where a Finnegan is said to be buried.

Cooley Peninsula
Coordinates: 54°2′4″N 6°13′36″W / 54.03444°N 6.22667°W / 54.03444; -6.22667
The Cooley Peninsula (from Irish: Cuaille, older Cuailghe) is a hilly peninsula in County Louth, Ireland, which includes towns such as Omeath, Carlingford and Greenore.
Geography
The peninsula contains the Cooley Mountains, the highest of which, Slieve Foy, is also the highest peak in County Louth at 588m. To the north is Carlingford Lough and the border with Northern Ireland; to the south is Dundalk Bay. The peninsula is ringed by the R173 regional road.
The peninsula is geologically diverse, with 440-million-year-old Silurian greywacke sandstones in the north west and south west, 340-million-year-old limestones in the east, and 60-million-year-old volcanic rocks forming the Cooley Mountains.
Antiquity
In Irish mythology Cooley (Old Irish Cúalnge) was the home of the bull Donn Cúailnge, and the site of the Táin Bó Cúailnge or Cattle Raid of Cooley. Ancient monuments in Cooley include the Proleek Dolmen, whose capstone weighs an estimated 46 tons (46.7 tonnes), and a Bronze Age gallery grave, both near Ballymascanlon.
