Stephenstown Pond Nature Park & The Dairy Maid Coffee Shop

Stephenstown Pond Nature Park at Knockbridge, County Louth, is a small parkland amenity built around a pond and its surrounding woodland, with looped paths that make for an easy walk in a rural setting. Ducks, swans and other waterbirds are usually in evidence, and the trails suit families and gentle strolls rather than serious hiking.

The Dairy Maid Coffee Shop on site provides tea, coffee and something to eat before or after a walk. It is a straightforward, pleasant few hours a short drive from Dundalk and Ardee.
