This late nineteenth century village at the mouth of Carlingford Lough was a
development of 1873 when the railway connecting Newry and Dundalk to the
deep water port of Greenore was first opened.
The port was opened in 1867 to provide a passenger and freight link with the
west
coast of Britain. While port and railways were closed down in 1951 the port
has
survived, shipping cattle and other freight to Britain and continental Europe.
There are fine views of Carlingford Lough, Slieve Foy, and the Mourne mountains,
access to the seashore where fish can be caught by rod and line and also the
Greenore Golf Club.
