Newry, Border city in County Down, Northern Ireland
Located between Belfast and Dublin, Newry stretches along the River Clanrye with mountains rising in the distance and waterways crossing through its center.
The settlement began in 1144 when a Cistercian abbey was established, with the city name deriving from the Irish word Iúr meaning yew tree.
The Sean Hollywood Arts Centre presents year-round performances, exhibitions, and workshops that showcase Northern Irish traditions and contemporary artworks.
The city features extensive shopping areas with multiple retail centers, markets, and stores that attract visitors from both Northern Ireland and the Republic.
The Newry Ship Canal, constructed in 1742, maintains its status as the first summit-level canal in Britain or Ireland.
