Encompassing the small but lovely Mournes mountain range, a stunning coast, and everything from charming villages to the bustling city of Newry, the former council district of Newry and Mourn has a lot on offer. Newry’s position on the border with the Republic of Ireland makes it a shopping and nightlife destination. Some parts of the council, including Newry, are commutable to Belfast along the A1, and the area is considered to be ideal for families and those who want access to both rural and urban amenities. The property market is mixed, from affordable terraces to Georgian mansions.
