This panorama of the Armagh Road area was taken by Martin Auden, to whom we are most grateful! Extreme right, middle is MacDonalds sign in yellow, 5Ways roundabout and Supermarket and Norbrook.
Panoramas
Fathom Hill
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!
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.
From Omeath park Hotel
This is the view of Warrenpoint Port from the newly-refurbished Park Hotel in Omeath.
View from Slieve Foye
Take the Tain Trail up by the Long Woman’s Grave and you will end by descending the east side of Slieve Foye into Carlingford. This is the view that rewards you.
Satellite View of Slieve Gullion
This 3D Satellite View of Slieve Gullion (left), Fathom and Anglesey Mountains (right), the conurbation of Newry (top) and Warrenpoint (right, below) is obtained from NASA World Wind. The ‘Gap of the North’ is illuminated (middle) along the main N-S road.
Silver reflection (far right) is of lakes and dams in the Burren area.
