THE
NEWRY WEBSITE
Newry and Mourne lies at the start of Carlingford Lough,
surrounded by mountains on all sides - the Mournes to the east and
Slieve Gullion to the west. The area has been a centre of
population since prehistoric times when it became established as
'The Gap of the North', the main route between the south and the
north of Ireland. There is much to offer the visitor, whether your
tastes are for historic sites rich in tradition and folklore,
breathtaking mountain walks and scenery, or outdoor sports on land
or water.
The
Borough of North Down extends along the southern shore of
Belfast Lough from Holywood in the West to Groomsport in the East.
The area is seen as a desirable and attractive place to live and
has attracted the more affluent and successful residents. It has
traditionally been a dormitory area for Belfast but in the recent
past it has emerged as an important location for advanced
technology companies wishing to take advantage of the quality of
the local environment.
THE
COAST OF DOWNis Northern
Ireland's secret treasure. An immensely varied area only moments
from Belfast where you can quickly reach idyllic isolation in a
holiday cottage in the Slieve Croob hills or be at the heart of
the busiest nightlife, in bustling Bangor...
