About Armagh
Situated on the Irish Republic's border, Armagh is a city rich in culture and history. It was here that St. Patrick reportedly built the first stone church in 445 and two cathedrals in his name still tower over the city. With 15,000 residents, Armagh has a wide range of attractions: museums, national parks, historic castles and houses, a modern theater, a university, a planetarium, a digital film archive, hotels and B&B's, numerous restaurants and pubs. Activities include golf, fishing, bicycling, and hiking. It's one hour from Belfast, two from Dublin, and three from Galway.
