Part of the Carlingford – Omeath greenway which opened last summer
A planning application has been submitted by Newry, Mourne and Down District Council to complete the Newry – Omeath greenway.
This proposed scheme would link up with the Great Northern Greenway, which opened last summer and runs from Carlingford to Omeath.
The Newry – Omeath greenway will take in lands from the Dublin Road bridge to Victoria Lock through the Albert Basin and the Middlebank in Newry.
There would also be new pedestrian crossings at the existing weir and Victoria Lock gates.
Long term the hope is to run the Greenway into Dundalk and possibly even as far as Dublin with a route to Scotland, via the ferry at Larne, also a possibility.
