Newry Cathedral

Reviewed By joang51

I found myself with an hour to spare in Newry and decided to visit the nearest church to light a candle . I happened on the Cathedral and was totally spellbound by the size and magnificence of the building. . The intricate mosaic tile patterns that adorn the walls , columns and floor are stunning ... the mosaics of the saints are lovely. The altar and stained glass windows behind it at the end of the central aisle are a fitting focal point in the church. A visit to this peaceful ornate church is definitely worthwhile.

Slieve Gullion Forest Park

Slieve Gullion Forest Park offers the unmissable opportunity to experience tranquil woodland trails, stunning views across the Ring of Gullion and surrounding landscape and top class facilities for walkers and families. Play in the Adventure Playpark; explore the Giant’s Lair in the wonderful Hawthorn Hill Forest Nature Reserve and woodland trails, or sit back in the cafe and watch nature.

Visited Slieve Gullion Forest Park and was highly impressed with this venue. Huge investment at this site to make it a treat for all to visit and so much for young children, an amazing cafe plus the scenic drive which takes you deep into the park and offers amazing views. Take time to do the mountain walk to the top of Slieve Gullion which is very managable within an hour there and back. Views from top are breath taking
