Armagh Rail Disaster Memorial SculptureMemorial · 20 ydExplorer Tom The Armagh Rail Disaster Memorial Sculpture stands as a quiet reminder of a tragic journey that started from Abbey Street long ago.
Armagh GaolHeritage attraction · 155 ydExplorer Tom Armagh Gaol has definitely seen its share of drama over the years. I wonder what stories the thick stone walls remember.
Excavations around the mall in CorporationExcavations around the Mall · 172 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Excavations around the mall in Corporation are modern digs where they found more shopping receipts than ancient artifacts. It’s got a long list of former names, so just call it whatever you want today. Get a photo with it before it gets a better agent.
The Crozier HallHall · 174 ydExplorer 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.
Archaeological deposit in CorporationArchaeological deposit · 213 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Archaeological deposit in Corporation is basically a pile of old stuff that nobody wants to dig up properly. It’s probably arguing with the nearest tree about who has the better view of nothing. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name.
Armagh County MuseumMuseum · 233 ydExplorer Tom The neoclassical front of Armagh County Museum looks grand. I’m sure the exhibits inside are just as impressive and educational.
Gospel HallHall · 271 ydExplorer Tom Gospel Hall witnessed the most dramatic incident ever: a pigeon dropped a hot chip on the roof. Everyone fainted. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch because you were there for the chaos.
Crimean CannonMemorial · 292 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.
Battle of the Yellow FordMajor battlefield · 314 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.
Battle of ClontibretMajor battlefield · 475 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.
Macha's Curse: Navan FortLegend location · 2.0 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 · 5.8 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.
