Public pools in Newry

“It's still a lot less busy than it was before the manufactured lockdown so you can use the gym and swim whenever suits you. The pool will be closing end of November for 6 weeks for repairs.”

“Brilliant hike from OTT car park. Accessible with laid out paths. Ground is mild underfoot with angular rocks. From ott walk toward the Mourne wall, then Doan is found behind. Great views over silent valley and lough shannagh. A 30ft rougher hike to the summit which might not suit all hikers. Doan is great for all ages. We spent 6 hours enjoying the trails and views, good access to the other nearby peaks following the Mourne wall.”

“Nice park for a walk, with different level routes. There is playground for children so everybody is happy ;) Also you can get coffee and some food and they have toilets. I was here socond and not the last time. Enjoy the walk and don't miss the black routr as we did ;)”

“It’s one of those places where you choose your tree. If you are a bit more adventurous, then venture into the adjacent woodland and enjoy absolute quiet and wild. Follow the trail and hiking paths but watch out for mountain bikers.”

“Views are unbelievable worth the climb. Bring water and food supplies ..”

“Great park for reading, children playground and relaxing.”

“An exceptional and amazing forest to visit. Native Ancient Irish woodland and with only 2% coverage in Ireland a real gem. Some of the trees are truly majestic. Bought by the Woodland Trust in 2021 it is due to open to the public summer 2022. A truly amazing place.”

“Great spot to visit and clear the head - downsides are the internal roads are not in great condition , and some of the grounds can get light flooding - also watch out for mountain bikers who think they own the tracks around there (They don't)”

“Absolutely amazing. Blowing away. You must visit”

“Loved this place! Set next to a quaint harbour with the Mournes as a backdrop, very picturesque. This mill still has a working waterwheel and a guide who is informative and pleasant. Well worth a visit.”

“Off-the-beaten-track, quiet, and further up the river, there are some really nice little waterfalls, and also pools to swim in.”

“Lovely forest with well made paths”
