The horse tram to Rostrevor
Between 1877 and 1915 you could step off the train in Warrenpoint and onto a horse-drawn tram to the Great Northern Hotel in Rostrevor. Long before buses or cars, the trip round the lough was part of the holiday itself.
Walk or cycle the shore road to Rostrevor along the old tram route.

The baths: a council and railway team-up
Warrenpoint Urban District Council started the public baths project in 1905, with the Great Northern Railway Company helping to pay for it. Locals got somewhere to swim, and the railway got another reason for visitors to stay at its hotel next door. Mrs Hall of Narrow Water Castle laid the foundation stone in 1906.
Visit the old baths on the seafront.

A pool for men, a pool for women
The open-air saltwater baths had separate swimming areas for men and women, with a divider that could be lifted out to make one big pool. It's a small detail, but it says a lot about how much seaside life has changed.
Stand at the baths and imagine the divider down the middle.
