About Newry

Newry sits in the Gap of the North between the Mourne Mountains and Ring of Gullion, making it a natural gateway between Ulster and Leinster. The city straddles counties Down and Armagh on the main Belfast-Dublin corridor, with the A1/M1 providing direct access to Belfast (60km) and Dublin (107km). Rail connections on the Enterprise line offer 50-minute journeys to Belfast and 90 minutes to Dublin. Cross-border shopping draws visitors from both sides, while the Mournes rise dramatically 15km east. The Victorian town hall uniquely spans the Clanrye River on a bridge, with water flowing directly under the council chambers.
