Children's playground1263 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Open to everyone in County Armagh, this playground is a joyful place where new friends are made every single day.
Workhouse Burial Ground in CorporationWorkhouse Burial Ground · 1332 ydExplorer Tom Workhouse Burial Ground in Corporation is where the Victorian government said, 'Thanks for your service,' without a single nameplate. The bishop refused to visit because he liked his shoes clean. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you.
Man-made underground passage in Drumman MoreMan-made underground passage · 1339 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Drumman More’s underground passage would post photos of itself with a caption about how nobody notices its charm. Perfect detour when the satnav has a meltdown.
St.Mark's ChurchChurch · 1603 ydExplorer Tom St.Mark's Church in Armagh would bring a bottle of vintage sherry to every party and act like it was the life of the event. It’s Grade B+ chic and knows exactly what it’s doing while you fumble around. Ring your granny and tell her where you are.
The Crozier HallHall · 1.0 miExplorer Tom The Crozier Hall in Armagh would rate its visitors two stars for wearing trainers into a historic hall, so you’ve been warned before you even arrive. It’s got that old-world judgmental energy that makes you want to straighten your tie. Go with someone who loves old stuff and watch them melt completely.
Armagh ObservatoryObservatory · 1.0 miExplorer Tom This Grade A listed observatory thinks the road leading to it is a joke, because half the drivers take the wrong turn. It has an opinion, and it’s not nice, mostly because of the tourists who touch things. It's free, it's odd, what more do you want?
Battle of the Yellow FordMajor battlefield · 1.1 miExplorer 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.
Armagh Rail Disaster Memorial SculptureMemorial · 1.1 miExplorer Tom The Armagh Rail Disaster Memorial Sculpture stands as a quiet reminder of a tragic journey that started from Abbey Street long ago.
Crimean CannonMemorial · 1.1 miExplorer Tom That Crimean Cannon on the Mall is a real time capsule. It was captured in 1854 and has been watching Armagh ever since.
Battle of ClontibretMajor battlefield · 1.3 miExplorer 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.
Macha's Curse: Navan FortLegend location · 3.0 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 · 5.2 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.
