Moyry Castle is a compact tower on a rocky rise above the Gap of the North, the strategic pass between Newry and Dundalk. Built in 1601, it is more military outpost than romantic residence, and its value lies in how clearly the location explains the building.
The castle is a quick stop for travelers with a car, especially those crossing the border corridor and interested in plantation-era or military history. Do not expect extensive interiors; the setting and surviving tower are the draw.
