Five minutes or less from Newry town and you encounter all the beauty of nature in this secluded spot. The road is narrow and winding – thank goodness – for that helps to preserve its special quality!

Fathom Road View
There is an Upper and a Lower Fathom Road. This is the view from about halfway along the latter. Both emerge close to Clontygora just where the Council has sited a wonderful viewpoint – now closed courtesy of our vandals!
Newpoint in Cathedral
It was remiss, I felt, of the Drama Festival Committee not to seat all Season Ticket Holders at the front of the Cathedral for this unique performance. Not a lot to ask!
However, despite the distance at which these photos were taken, we hope they convey something of the spirit of the occasion!
Newry Bars of the Ninties
In keeping with our current theme, here is a selection of some of the named bars in martin Auden’s list (and one NOT mentioned). What are they now called?
Quarry Road Slides
This time our view is from Ballinalack Road on the western edge of Camlough Lake. The quarry in the distance figured in our geological survey of this area.
Carlingford Lough Panorama
Another panorama of Carlingford Lough – but this time from the top of Slieve Martin at the Cloughmore Stone, with a low winter sun shining down on Rostrevor and Warrenpoint in the distance below us.
New Year in Orkney
I am endebted to photographer and son, Steven McCullagh, currently residing in Kirkwall, Orkney Islands who took these excellent photographs and emailed them to me for the Newry Journal readership.
Nature Photos on Slides
You get what you want on Newry Journal. And it’s obvious you can’t get enough photos. Hope you like this new selection by my son’s girlfriend, Katharine Beaven, of Orkney in Scotland.
