St. Patrick's ward is an electoral area covering the southern and western residential outskirts of Newry city. It encompasses neighbourhoods such as Derrybeg and parts of the Dublin Road corridor, extending towards the rural townland of Carnagat. The area is primarily residential, featuring a mix of housing developments and local community facilities, with several schools serving the population.
The ward's landscape transitions from urban edges to open countryside, with views towards the surrounding drumlin hills. A notable local feature is the historic Derrymore House, an 18th-century thatched cottage associated with the Act of Union, set within its own grounds. The area is bounded by the Newry Canal to the east, linking it to the city centre while maintaining a distinct community character.
