'Built to transport coal from Coalisland in County Tyrone to Dublin via Lough Neagh, Portadown, Newry and the Irish Sea, the Newry Canal was opened in 1742 and operated for almost 200 years until it fell into disuse following the growth of the railway network. There are frequent interpretation boards along the way giving information about the history of the canal.'
