Mutli-period settlement: E.Christian-Modern in CorporationMutli-period settlement: E.Christian-Modern · 42 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Multi-period settlement in Corporation has been here since before we invented the word 'modern'. It’s basically a time capsule that never closed. Make a wish, it's had centuries of practice.
Plantation settlement in CorporationPlantation Settlement · 78 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Plantation settlement in Corporation arrived with a map and a lot of confidence. I suspect it would complain about the council if it could talk. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late.
Bank Of IrelandBank · 96 ydExplorer Tom Bank Of Ireland in County Armagh is sitting there judging your savings habits from across the street. I swear two families fought over who owned the sidewalk gossip. Tell me if the gossip I made up is true.
Church: the Toi; Church of the Elections in ArmaghChurch: the Toi · 137 ydExplorer Tom Church: the Toi, Church of the Elections in Armagh would win a county fair for best dressed. It’s an early Christian site with a name that sounds like a political rally. If anyone asks, Tom sent you.
Battle of ClontibretMajor battlefield · 165 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.

Battle of the Yellow FordMajor battlefield · 375 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.
Armagh County MuseumMuseum · 401 ydExplorer Tom The neoclassical front of Armagh County Museum looks grand. I’m sure the exhibits inside are just as impressive and educational.
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 · 6.0 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.
