Widows Row

united kingdom

Widows Row sits in County Down's Mourne region, just off the A2 coastal road between Newcastle and the dramatic mountain scenery. The settlement lies 3km from Newcastle and benefits from over 20 fast EV charging points nearby. Local routes connect to Bryansford and the Mourne foothills, whilst the A24 from Belfast provides the main access for visitors exploring the area's hiking trails and coastal attractions. The name derives from cottages once occupied by widows of local granite quarry workers.
