How the train made Warrenpoint a holiday town
From 1849 until 1965 the railway ran right into Warrenpoint, and it changed the place. The railway company didn't just bring people here: it put money into hotels and entertainment so they'd stay. That's a big part of why Warrenpoint became somewhere you came for your holidays, not somewhere you passed through.
Stroll the seafront and picture the trains unloading holidaymakers a few streets away.

By the late 1800s Warrenpoint had seven hotels, and Rostrevor had three more. These weren't sleepy villages that happened to be pretty. They were busy holiday towns, with real businesses built around looking after visitors.
Count the grand old frontages along the seafront as you walk.
