Why Newry in Ireland is a great vacation spot

By Alan Chamberpots


The area of Newry in Northern Ireland is quite a small locale but having said that there's a whole lot to do, it might be hard to pack it all in to your trip. I know that whenever you get to any strange city for the first time it could be a bit scary nevertheless I figured I'd write down some of the best activities while you are there.

Cost is often a consideration for virtually any activity I intend on trying in a new city mainly because keeping costs down is always a priority. Among the cheapest activities is going to the two major shopping centres in the middle of the town which are the Quays as well as Buttercrane which both have plenty of car parking. I know that shopping is generally related to paying cash but there are a number of low-priced cafes and knick-knack shops plus there's invariably window shopping also.

A much-loved hobby of mine is certainly go-karting and Newry posseses an outstanding race track on the outskirts of the town that provides very affordable rates for folks of all ages. You will get an hour on the race track for just $50 bucks which I feel is definitely good value plus speeding around this premium track is a real buzz. Even if you're not into go-karting there is a coffee shop and observation section where you can unwind and watch.

Following a very long day there's little better than a drink inside a vintage Irish pub and just one of my personal favourites is Bellinis which is based right in the middle of Newry. One important thing I enjoy about the bar is that the local drinkers go here to chill out as well and it's not just other travelers that you're going to meet. I've generally felt that hanging out with local folks is key for an stimulating vacation just about anywhere because it is the answer to getting a proper flavour of the local culture.

Ideally this guide gives you a handful of ideas on how to make the very best of your vacation in Newry.
