3About Kilkeel
Kilkeel sprawls where the Mourne Mountains drop into the Irish Sea, County Down's busiest fishing port with trawlers hauling in prawns and scallops daily. The A2 coastal road brings most visitors from Newcastle, while longer journeys from Belfast follow the M1 to Newry then the A25 south, about 77 kilometers total. Dublin sits 135 kilometers away via the A1. The town looks across Carlingford Lough toward Slieve Donard's 850-meter peak, and that red-brick fish market on the harbor front still buzzes with the day's catch being sorted and sold.
