Pat's Road which links the A2 with the sea plays a pivotal role in the social and cultural life of the village and the nearby town of Kilkeel. The Ballymartin GAA club which draws its members and supporters from the Nationalist community is located on this road and on "The Twelfth" Orangemen from the Kingdom of Mourne march some 5km from Kilkeel to Pat's Road and back again.
