Newcastle (An Caisleán Nua) is a seaside resort located in County Down at the foot of the Mountains of Mourne and made famous by the Percy French song "Where the Mountains of Mourne Sweep Down to the Sea". It has high wild mountain passes and curving sandy beaches. Whether you have packed the kids’ bucket and spade or a pair of stout hiking boots, Newcastle will bring you the holiday of a lifetime. Natural environment and stunning scenery are not the only features of Newcastle. The town has been redeveloped and refurbished. It has so much to offer its visitors, whether for specialist activity or for all round family holidays, Newcastle is renowned for the variety of visitor accommodation from family run guesthouses and bed and breakfasts to top class hotels and high quality self-catering properties.
The Promenade, with its exposed concrete aggregate finish and stainless steel railings, provides visitors with a traffic free zone.
The magnificent Royal County Down Golf Club is the jewel in Newcastle's crown, rated as one of the best golf courses in the world. Many of the world’s greatest golfers have paid tribute to the quality and challenge it presents.
The Mountains of Mourne are rightly world famous. Majestic magnificence contrasts with the blue sea, rocky inlets and beaches around their foothills.
