Narrow Water Castle

Full Description

Narrow Water Castle is a lovely little heritage stop near Warrenpoint, where a striking old tower house stands close to the waters of Carlingford Lough. It is the sort of place that can spark plenty of imagination in children who love castles, knights and stories from long ago.

Even viewing the historic building from the surrounding area is interesting, with its thick stone walls and dramatic setting beside the water. Children can imagine what it might have been like to keep watch here centuries ago, while the grown-ups enjoy the views towards the lough and surrounding countryside.

This is best treated as a short sightseeing stop rather than a full-day attraction. Public access to the castle interior is not something to assume, so check current arrangements and enjoy the exterior and setting if the building is closed.

What You'll Find

Families can see the historic tower house and enjoy the surrounding views, turning a short heritage stop into a bit of castle spotting and imaginative play.
