About

Abbey ward sits in the southeastern part of Newry city, primarily residential in character. Its housing ranges from older terraced streets to more modern developments, creating a varied streetscape. The area is bordered by the Newry Canal to the west and the Clanrye River, which flows towards the nearby Newry River. This gives the ward a distinct linear shape, following these waterways as key geographical boundaries.

A central feature is the large Daisy Hill Hospital complex, a major employer and focal point within the ward. The grounds of the hospital provide one of the area's significant green spaces. Residential life here is supported by local convenience shops and several schools serving the community, with the wider amenities of Newry city centre easily accessible.
