angler, golfer, shopper, cyclist and leisurely driver. It’s a land of opposites, both active and relaxed. You can pack your visit to maximise the time you have, or travel free and easy, and just take things as they come.
The bustling market towns and city of Newry stand in contrast to the slow-changing, rural landscape. Around you, open skies drift over green farmland, and the water always seems to be in view. Enjoy rolling countryside, traffic-free roads, shorelines, seascapes and sunsets, along with postcard villages and fascinating wildlife. Step inside and feel the heat of roaring fires in country pubs, with dining and accommodation options to suit everyone’s taste and budget, and a warm welcome comes with them all.
