Newcastle

Newcastle is situated on the coast road between Kilcoole & Rathnew. The village takes its name from a castle (now a ruin), which was built by the Normans on an earlier Irish fortification in the territory of the O'Byrnes. Constructed in the period between 1177 and 1184 by Hugh de Lacy, the then Governor of Ireland, the castle became a major stronghold in the outer fortifications of the Pale. The village is a very good area for bathing and shore angling, particularly at 'Six Mile Point' and 'Five Mile Point'.
