Newcastle Co. Down - A glimpse of the beach town, Slieve Donard Hotel, main street and more...
Newcastle Co Down is a lovely town to visit - the beach is amazing, just off the beach is the equally impressive Slieve Donard Hotel. Newcastle Northern Ireland (not to be confused with the English city of the same name!) is a small town that nestles between the Slieve Donard Mountain and the Irish Sea - it would also be well known for the Royal County Down Golf Club.
The town is a great base for exploring the local area - Tollymore Forest Park (

Newcastle is a small seaside resort in county Down, Northern Ireland, which is one reason why its beach is always referred to and mentioned. This small seaside resort lies on the Irish sea at the foot of Slieve Donard, one of the Mourne Mountains, and is known with its sandy beach and the Royal County Down Golf Club. With all these different features which the town is known with, it is trying to promote itself as the "activity resort" for Northern Ireland - since we love the place, we could say that it will be able to win this.
Newcastle is not just a place that Irish people tend to come to from across the country, but it is also a touristic destination for the tourists coming from abroad to visit the country. There are different things that tourists come for and the most important of them is Slieve Donard since they come to walk the Mourne Mountains. In addition to this main attraction in the town, the second one is the Royal County Down Golf Club which is now recognized as the number one golf course in the world. There is also one important thing to mention when it comes to Newcastle in Northern Ireland which is the Mourne Granite which was quarried in Newcastle and shipped all around the world for many years and which was also used to make paving stones for different cities like London and New York, and was also being used to make the base for 9/11 memorial in New York - it seems that this small town at the end of the road is filled with things that serves the whole world.
These different things that might interest any person coming to visit Newcastle in Northern Ireland differ from the places which might attract tourists and give them places which they could see, such as the Tollymore Forest Park (

In this trip and while exploring Newcastle, we have visited the Slieve Donard Hotel, we have walked down the streets of the town and even came across their shopping center and the different shops and restaurants scattered around the street. One of those places of interest in this town was the Percy French Restaurant which is located inside the Slieve Donard Hotel and which is the place where the third door in the Game of Thrones movie series appeared and also one of the reasons why a lot of those fans for the movie tend to come and visit it (

There are a lot of scenes from Game of Thrones which were taken in Northern Ireland, whether it is something related to the doors that appeared throughout the movie or else general locations which might be found across the country - we believe that this movie actually succeeded at making some of these locations more famous than they really were.
The Dark Hedges (

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7dNEReGod4), Lough Neagh (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COUaQZJ8-kI), Binevenagh Mountain (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYQXeJm4D2o) are all different locations for the movie that are all found in Northern Ireland and which are also considered touristic places - or at least some of them. The doors which appeared in the movie were found in different places like restaurants, cafes, and hotels around the country as well.
There are some places which are near Newcastle and that will be always shown through the signs that are found near the hotel, such as the Giant's Causeway (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjUEeEEHuls), St. Patrick's Visitor Centre, and other signs and places as well, you just have to know how to head out for them and whether they are within a walking distance or need something to take you there.
You must place Newcastle town on your list when it comes to Northern Ireland!
