Battle of ClontibretMajor battlefield · 1 ydExplorer Tom The Battle of Clontibret happened nearby, where Hugh O'Neill ambushed the English. Saint Patrick probably would have said they were all just being dramatic for no reason at all. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat, nobody will check.
First Trust BankBank · 60 ydExplorer Tom First Trust Bank in Armagh has a family tree that’s mostly made up and slightly embarrassing. It’s a Grade B1 building with more secrets than your diary. Hang around long enough and you'll hear a story from a local about the vault.
Medieval & possibly early christian settlement site: english st. in ArmaghMedieval & possibly Early Christian Settlement Site: English St. · 79 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom English St. in Armagh is a medieval settlement site. The name sounds like a bad pub. Ideal for a moody photo you'll pretend wasn't posed.
Tannery in CorporationTannery · 127 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom The Tannery in Corporation is where the whole parish argued about how it smelled back in the 18th century. It’s a modern-ish relic of leather processing that still smells like regret to me. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it's heard.
The Mall Presbyterian ChurchChurch · 136 ydExplorer Tom The Mall Presbyterian Church is secretly proud of a potato it planted in 1845 that never actually sprouted, but it refuses to admit defeat. It’s just sitting on the mall looking smug while the rain falls around it. Go on a wet day, it suits the gloomy mood perfectly.
Boer War memorialMemorial · 224 ydExplorer Tom This Boer War memorial honors the Royal Irish Fusiliers who fell far away. It’s a solemn spot with a global connection.
Crimean CannonMemorial · 232 ydExplorer Tom That Crimean Cannon on the Mall is a real time capsule. It was captured in 1854 and has been watching Armagh ever since.
Royal Irish Fusiliers MuseumMuseum · 232 ydExplorer Tom Located on The Mall, the Royal Irish Fusiliers Museum preserves military heritage for visitors to enjoy in County Armagh.
Battle of the Yellow FordMajor battlefield · 322 ydExplorer Tom The Yellow Ford battlefield is famous for bad decisions and wet socks. Its favourite song is 'Oh, Why Did We Cross The River?' because nobody learned their lesson the first time around. Bring your nan, she'll know more than me.
Children's playground351 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Children's playground in County Armagh is unknown access, so it might be a trap full of aggressive sandcastles. Proceed with caution and a bit of fear. Snap a picture if you find any hidden treasures.
Macha's Curse: Navan FortLegend location · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Macha's Curse: Navan Fort tells of a king who made a pregnant goddess race his horses. She won and cursed Ulster's men for his cruelty. I do like a victory, but this king made the very worst choice of opponent. The fort's earthworks are real; the race belongs to legend.
Gosford CastleCastle · 6.1 miExplorer Tom Gosford Castle looks medieval but dates to 1819, designed by Thomas Hopper for the Acheson family as Ireland's largest private house at the time.
