About Newry
- The Newry Canal, which runs from Newry to Portadown, was the first summit-level canal in Ireland and one of the first in the British Isles — a waterway built between 1731 and 1742 to carry coal from the Tyrone coalfields to the port at Newry and thence to Dublin. The canal, which was 18 miles long and had 14 locks, was a remarkable engineering achievement for its time, and it transformed the economy of the Newry area by providing a cheap and reliable means of transporting goods. The canal fell into disuse in the 20th century but has been restored as a recreational waterway, and the towpath along its banks is one of the most popular walking and cycling routes in County Down.
- The Mourne Mountains, which rise to the south of Newry, are one of the most beautiful mountain ranges in Ireland — a compact group of granite peaks that includes Slieve Donard, the highest mountain in Northern Ireland at 850 metres, and that offers some of the finest walking in the country. The mountains, which were the inspiration for C.S. Lewis's Narnia — Lewis grew up in Belfast and could see the Mournes from his childhood home — are one of the most important natural landscapes in Northern Ireland, and the Mourne Wall, a dry-stone wall that runs for 35 kilometres across the summits of the mountains, is one of the most remarkable examples of landscape engineering in Ireland.
- Newry's position on the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland has shaped its history and its character as a city that has always been a meeting point between two traditions. The city, which straddles the border between County Down and County Armagh, was one of the most important commercial centres in Ulster in the 18th and 19th centuries, and its prosperity was built on the linen trade, the canal, and the cross-border commerce that has always been a feature of life in the border region. The city's dual identity — as a Northern Irish city with strong connections to the Republic — gives it a character that is unique in Ireland.
