Cheapest flights to Newcastle
Newcastle isn't exactly exciting, but it's well equipped for a range of outdoor activities, including walking in the Mourne Mountains southwest of town, pony trekking, and fishing on the river. Golfing enthusiasts may be tempted by Newcastle's Royal County Down golf course (tel 028/4372 3314) which has a reputation as one of the top ten links worldwide.
For the inevitable rainy day, the town has indoor alternatives at the Newcastle Centre and Tropicana Complex on the promenade (summer only), with swimming pools, water slides and playgrounds. On Dundrum Road, half a mile east of town, is the Route 66 US Automobile Museum (Easter & June-Aug daily 11am-5pm; May, Sept & Oct Sat & Sun 2-5pm; $2.50), displaying all the great American cars - Thunderbirds, Cadillacs, Mustangs - and a wondrous collection of jukeboxes. Newcastle has a few literary connections: Seamus Heaney was a waiter in the 1950s at the long-gone Savoy Café ; Brook Cottage (now an hotel), on Bryansford Road, was home to the dramatist and dialect-poet Richard Valentine Williams, better known as Richard Rowley; and, a fountain on the Promenade commemorates the popular Irish songwriter Percy French, composer of "The Mountains of Mourne" and numerous comic songs. Behind the Newcastle Centre a plaque celebrates one of the first powered flights in Ireland, undertaken in 1910 by Harry Ferguson to win a £100 prize - he was later to become famous through the success of the Massey Ferguson tractor.
