Warrenpoint
Warrenpoint (Irish: an Phointe meaning "the point") is a town in County Down, Northern Ireland. It lies on the northern shore of Carlingford Lough. The town is sometimes known in Irish as Rinn Mhic Giolla Rua (anglicised Ringmackilroy) meaning "point of the red-haired servant" — this is the townland in which it lies.
It is known for its scenic location, the Maiden of the Mournes festival, the Blues on the Bay music festival and the the nearby Narrow Water Castle dating from the 1660s.
In the 2001 Census it had a population of 7,000.
History
What is now Warrenpoint long consisted of a small number of basic dwellings inhabited by people reliant on fishing for their survival and sustenance.
Its scenic beauty and coastal location instigated rapid development so that the population in 1824 was 500 and in 1831 was 1,000. In 1836 there was a school, a court house, a savings bank and a farming society. In 1846 the population was 683.
Fairs were held once a month and a market every Friday. In the mid-19th century, Newry merchants obtained a government grant to create a tidal dock at the village, as prior to 1850 ships of above 150 tonnes could not get further up the lough than Narrow Water.
A railway connection opened on 9 May 1849,[1] increasing Warrenpoint's popularity as a holiday destination. and Warrenpoint became popular as a resort town. Thousands flocked to the resort every year, where most took the passenger ferry to Omeath in County Louth. The Warrenpoint railway station closed in January 1965. The Ferry remains in operation but only in the summer months from May to September.
A bandstand in the town park provided concerts and a swimming pool was built in 1908. The baths were opened by Captain Roger Hall on Whit Monday, the 8th of June in that year, but they are now closed.
Demographics
26.7% were aged under 16 years and 16.8% were aged 60 and over

Places of interest
Narrow Water Castle just outside the town is a three-storey tower house built in 1560 to protect the entrance to the Newry river estuary. Across the road is the new Narrow Water Castle built in 1840.
Today a small passenger ferry service operates out of Warrenpoint to the village of Omeath in County Louth. The trip takes about fifteen minutes. Other cruises include trips to Narrow Water Castle and Bay & Harbour Cruises.
Two small inland lakes , the "Mill Dam" and the "Waterworks" offer a variety of fishing opportunities. A permit is needed to fish these lakes, which are located about 1km from the town centre.
Warrenpoint Promenade was used as a backdrop for Bundoran in the film The Butcher Boy, especially the exterior of the Star of the Sea Convent and the Edwardian swimming baths.
