Tree ring in Mullanasilla

Explorer Tom Climb Cannon Hill for spectacular views in every direction, though you'll need to dodge the Castledillon Obelisk blocking your southern gaze.

Explorer Tom The Richhill War Memorial stands solemnly near Richhill, a lasting tribute to those who served and sacrificed in County Armagh.

Explorer Tom St. Matthew's Church in Richhill is playing hard to get, like a celebrity who forgot your name. I bet it’s got a secret stash of old hymns that sound like a cat in a blender. Tell your mates you found it first before they do.

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 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 The neoclassical front of Armagh County Museum looks grand. I’m sure the exhibits inside are just as impressive and educational.

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 The Armagh Rail Disaster Memorial Sculpture stands as a quiet reminder of a tragic journey that started from Abbey Street long ago.

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 The Armagh Franciscan Friary. The monks probably had a laugh at how much trouble we have finding it now. Tell your mates you found it first before the tour buses do.

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.
