Whitecross is a small village and ward in the south of County Armagh, within the Newry, Mourne and Down district of Northern Ireland. Set in the drumlin country on the fringes of the Ring of Gullion, it feels distinctly rural with farmland, hedgerows and quiet lanes shaping the local landscape.
The community is compact and sociable, centred on local churches, halls and sports activities, while many residents commute into Newry for work and shopping.
