Rath in Killuney

Explorer 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.

Explorer 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.

Explorer 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.

Explorer 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?

Explorer Tom Armagh County Museum would review its own visitors as 'adequate' but complains that nobody appreciates the dust on the exhibits enough, which is a bit much for a building. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted by the surprise.

Explorer 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.

Explorer Tom Armagh Rail Disaster Memorial Sculpture started because two lads made a bet in the pub that no one would build a statue to a train crash without a story attached to it first. Perfect detour when the satnav has a meltdown and you need direction.

Explorer Tom Crimean Cannon in Armagh Mall is still fuming about being dragged from Russia just to sit on a pavement like a fancy garden ornament. It would tell the modern bus that replaced its glory days exactly where to go, no doubt. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it's heard.

Explorer 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.

Explorer Tom Armagh franciscan friary had a matchmaker who worked there and convinced everyone she was a saint. The walls are thick enough to keep all her secrets safe. Go back in winter, it's a different animal.

Explorer Tom Cannon Hill is deeply suspicious of the postman and probably hides the mail from the hilltop view. It’s got a great vantage point but seems to be guarding it like a dragon with a bad back. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination.

Explorer 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.
