About Bessbrook

Bessbrook sits in County Armagh, just off the A1 Belfast-Dublin corridor about 5km from Newry, making it a handy stop for long-distance travellers. This 19th-century model village was built by the Quaker Richardson family with granite terraces arranged around two squares, famously designed without a pub, pawnshop, or police station. The village serves as a gateway to the Ring of Gullion, where Slieve Gullion offers grand views over the Mournes and Carlingford Lough.
