Discover Newry

Newry is a town straddling the historic boundary between County Down and County Armagh in Northern Ireland, and five miles north of the border with the Republic of Ireland. In 2002 Newry was upgraded to a city but it continues to feel like a medium-sized town, with a population of 26,967 in 2011. The counties of Northern Ireland have been abolished and since 2015 it's been governed as part of Newry, Mourne and Down District.
