This is one of a series of caches placed along the Newry Canal towpath.

The route follows the towpath of the now disused Newry Canal. Built in 1742 this canal was the first summit level canal in the British Isles.

The Newry Canal Way is a 20 mile long distance route running from Portadown to Newry along the restored towpath of the former Newry Canal. This linear walk/cycle route provides a flat, level surface suitable for all.

This area is very popular with the local muggles so please be discreet when logging the find.
