Newtownstewart Castle

Highlight • Castle

Ruin of a 17th-century castle above the Strule Valley, built by the Stewarts as a fortified residence. Only the outer walls and parts of the corner towers still stand, but the silhouette is clearly visible from the road and forms a striking landmark on the edge of the village. Quiet stopping place with views of the river, hills, and the historic center of Newtownstewart.

Newtownstewart Stone Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Newtownstewart Stone Bridge is an elegant 18th-century monument that spans the River Mourne with six characteristic arches. This robust stone structure not only forms an important link on the route south, but also offers one of the most beautiful photo opportunities in the region, with a picturesque view of the babbling water and the nearby Stewart Castle.
