This car park is 3 mile from Newry, its for walkers & cyclists who use the canal path. Really handy to the A1 Craigavon/Armagh turnoff.

HI Conor,that carpark in my opinion is not very safe,there have been a few thefts there,i live in Newry myself,so if you need somewhere safe you can stay on my private driveway,PM me if that suits you.

Wasn’t aware of that or I wouldn't have listed the spot. I've used it a lot of times when walking the canal path. I guess the same could be said for any public parking area. We have friends who parked their MH in Makro car park in Belfast, a short distance away from the bulk of the cars to avoid door opening marks on their van, only to come back out in half an hour to the MH broken in to. What can we do to avoid this; we're a target for any opportunistic thiefs=, it’s just the luck of the draw & how secure you can keep you van.

Had planned night in Newry but couldnt find a spot....so went out to warrenpoint and lovely carpark right in middle town...sign says no parking longer than 10 hours so we fine (good few trucks parked up anyway, just the driving bit though), lovely public toilets and good selection of chippers, chips out of geneoa delicious but small enough portion and siliviya kitchen Chinese excellent. quieter carpark outside the town but barriers.
