Welcome to Bessbrook and Camlough
The villages and the communities of Camlough and Bessbrook are linked by a shared heritage but also by the Camlough River which flows from Camlough Lake through Bessbrook Pond and under the Craigmore Viaduct, before joining the Newry Canal and reaching Carlingford Lough and the Irish Sea. The water was used to power the many mills along this river and fuelled the linen industry in Bessbrook.
You can pick up a brochure at one of the local Visitor Information Centres or download the brochure for your walk around these two neighbouring villages.
