About

Less than 2 miles from Newry you will find Derrymore House, a National Trust Property which is a bright yellow, thatched cottage on a picturesque estate with woodlands and farm fields. The property makes a perfect stopping point between Belfast and Dublin, with scenic walks in forest and parkland, a dog exercise area, children’s play area and gardens.  

Derrymore House is famous  because the Act of Union between Great Britain and Ireland was drafted here in the Treaty Room. The house is open for tours on very limited dates only, please phone or check the National Trust website for details.

**Following extensive damage to gardens and estates across many National Trust properties during Storm Eowyn in January 2025, The Trust is advising visitors to sites to check property websites before setting out. Some places remain closed and walking routes may have changed at others. National Trust teams are working tirelessly to repair and restore these special places.
