Crossing the Border
Vast expanses of waterways connect and combine in natural and manmade form where County Down meets County Louth. Great feats of mid 19th century engineering once provided transport routes for cargo ships: the parallel Newry Canal and Newry River link Lough Neagh in the north to Carlingford Lough in the south. These days, they are photogenic tourism spots.

Thanks Leon!
It looks like a lovely part of the world x
Morning Bethne it really is and relatively undiscovered except of course for the great foodie Mecca of Carlingford. LVB X
This whole area was wrecked by terror.sm but there are plans by the council to develop the part of the Albert Basin closer to Newry for water sports etc
That’s interesting to learn. Albert Basin Park: http://albertbasinpark.org/
