Geocache Description:


Scarva/Scarvagh

Scarva is a small village in County Down, Northern Ireland, known for its rich history and cultural significance. It is at the boundary with County Armagh, which is marked by the Newry Canal. In the 2001 census it had a population of 320.

During the Williamite War in Ireland (1689–1691), the forces of Frederick Schomberg reputedly first camped near Scarva, before marching south.

Much of the village was laid-out by John Reilly, owner of Scarvagh House, in the mid-18th century.

Transport

Scarva is on National Cycle Route 9, linking Belfast with Newry, and onwards to Dublin.

Amenities

The village has a park, with playing fields and a wildlife pond, scenic walks and wild fowl sanctuary.
