Story · South Down

A coast that worked for a living

Look a little closer and the Mourne coast is much more than a pretty view. Stone was quarried and shipped, grain was milled, people left by sea, and the ports and halls are still busy today. That mix of work, play and everyday life is what ties Warrenpoint to the rest of South Down.
