Number 165 Widow's Row is a Northern Ireland Tourist Board approved, grade 2 listed property in a row of 12 delightful cottages. These were built following the fishing disaster of 1843, the worst that ever occurred around the shores of County Down. The row has since then remained one of the iconic images of Newcastle. With a backdrop of the Mourne Mountains and uninterrupted panoramic views over the Harbour and the Dundrum Bay.
It is conveniently situated at the Harbour end of the town. It is approximately a 15 minute leisurely walk to Newcastle town centre. However within a short walking distance (3 minutes) you will find The Harbour Inn, which serves food, Mackens Bar, and Olive Bizarre (coffee house) for your enjoyment. Access to the Mourne Mountains is a 1 min walk from the cottage via Delarey Terrace or The Granite Trail.
The weather, being unusually fine for the time of year, the fisherman decided to go a little farther beyond their normal fishing ground, some 7 or 8 miles out in the channel and according to reports they had "quite an uncommon take of fish".

Drive through Newcastle towards Newcastle harbour and Kilkeel (A2).
Pass the Harbour House Inn (grey coloured building) on your left.
About 100m, just before the National Speed Limit sign, take the slip road to your right.
Number 165 is the third house (red and white porch) in the first row of terrace houses on your right.
Although there are no designated parking spaces provided for each individual house, you will see that the residents park on the slip road outside along the fence.
This is a narrow two way road and I would please ask you to use common sense when parking, so as not to obstruct the road for other users.
