Greenore
GREENORE (An Grianfort)
Tonight I paid a visit to one of my favorite places, Greenore. I have many a fond childhood memory of summer picnics by the shore basking in the outstanding natural beauty and breathtaking landscapes. The village Its self was built to provide homes for the dock and railway workers of the Dundalk Newry and Greenore Railway.
Once home to a large hotel which accommodated passengers awaiting to board the Greenore to Holyhead Ferry which operated from 1873 to 1951 and now home to Ireland’s only privately owned port. With the Mourne Mountains providing the backdrop to this beautiful picturesque Village I highly recommend a visit.
