Construction of this imposing Cathedral was started in 1840, dedicated for worship in 1873, and its magnificent interior décor completed in the early 20th century.

The Catholic Cathedral of St Patrick is mesmerising and absolutely towers above the rest of the city of Arnagh. Its twin towers can be seen from almost anywhere in town and the views of the city from the top of its steps is quite superb. I love how you can see the Protestant Cathedral from the main door as the two seem to gaze at each other from on high at different ends of the small city centre. There is a guided tour apparently but we just did it ourselves. The interior is jaw dropping with amazing columns, arches and mosaics on the walls and ceilings. There are lovely stained glass windows throughout and a gleaming marble sabctuary. The roof took a oht 5 decades to add because all the money collected to finish the cathedral had to be redirected to famine relief projects at the time. Watch for the 'famine line's in the roof. Wonderfully peaceful, ornate and humbling. A must-do when in Armagh.

Beautiful park to walk in especially during lockdown. Super to see grey squirrels darting about. Great playpark for kiddies with pieces of sculpture and animal carvings to see. If you find the walk too short then go around twice! Also a coffee van that sells delicious ice-cream. All in all - wonderful!!!

Navan Fort is absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend the guided tour from the visitor centre for you to get the most out of your visit. It is possible to do it for free by yourself but I don't really think you'll learn anything close to what a guide would tell you. The Celtic Fort towers a over the surrounding area and you get great views of Armagh City and its cathedral from the top of Mounds A and B. It has a fascinating ceremonial history and though there are display boards, but not to labour the point, use the guides!
