Once
in Newry you have several options for 'getting around'. Hiring a
car offers you most independence and mobility, and is recommended if you
can afford the extra expense. Ulsterbus provide a comprehensive and
(fairly) frequent service from Newry to all destinations in the area. Most
buses run from the new bus centre at The Mall, Newry. Bicycles can also be hired in the
town.
