Newry.

Newry grew up around a strategic canal linking Carlingford Lough to Lough Neagh, and traces of that trading past still shape its compact centre today. Locals and visitors alike tend to gather over coffee, with cafes outnumbering nearly every other option in town, while a handful of restaurants round out the dining scene for those after a fuller meal. With 63 spots to explore, the city rewards a slow wander between the two.
