Kilkeel is the southernmost town in Northern Ireland, set against the Mountains of Mourne, and its harbour is still the busiest fishing port in the country.
The church of the narrow place
Kilkeel takes its name from the Irish Cill Chaoil, meaning 'church of the narrow place', and is the southernmost town in Northern Ireland, set against the backdrop of the Mountains of Mourne. The town still has the ruins of a 14th-century church and fort among its winding streets.
Home to the largest fishing fleet in Northern Ireland
Kilkeel's harbour was developed through the second half of the 19th century, with the first pier completed in 1868 and a south pier added in 1885. Today Kilkeel Harbour is the home port for the largest fishing fleet in Northern Ireland, now focused mainly on prawn trawlers and scallop dredgers.
