3About Armagh
Armagh sits on drumlin hills about an hour from Belfast via the A3, with the M1/A4 bringing you from Dublin in 90 minutes. The city's famous for its twin St. Patrick's cathedrals facing each other from opposite hilltops, marking its place as Ireland's ecclesiastical capital. You'll find yourself in apple country here, with Bramley orchards covering the gentle slopes that earned this area the nickname "Orchard of Ireland." No rail connections mean you'll need a car, but there are fast charging points for electric vehicles. The Armagh Observatory has been recording daily temperatures since 1790, making it one of the longest weather records in these islands.
