County Armagh Accommodation, Hotels, Inns, Guesthouses, Bed and Breakfast.
Armagh is often known as the 'Orchard County' or the 'Orchard of Ireland', owing to the rich apple growing country centred around Loughgall in the north of the County. Each May the countryside here comes alive with colour as the pink flowers of apple trees blanket much of the deep green landscape; an annual Apple Blossom Festival celebrates the start of the season and the area's principle variety, the delicious Bramley apple.

Armagh City: where history comes to life

Armagh City, while not in fact the principle settlement in the County, is rich in heritage. The City is a fine specimen of Georgian elegance and one of its best known features is its Mall, once the City's racecourse, lined by elegant houses and leafy trees. The settlement and surrounding area have much deeper roots in the past, however, as can be seen at the County Museum, which boasts a fine range of prehistoric artefacts among its numerous collections on the history and culture of the County.

Navan Fort, a short distance to the west of the City, is thought to have been an ancient pagan ceremonial site. It comprises a large circular earthwork surrounding the summit of a drumlin hill and is the site of some fascinating archaeological discoveries. It features prominently in Irish mythology and is thought to have been the earliest capital of Ulster. The Navan Centre, due to reopen in July 2009 following refurbishment, explores the history and legends of the site.

Armagh City is perhaps best known for its rich Christian heritage, however, and many of its attractions reflect this aspect of its history. The settlement has been the spiritual capital of Ireland since Saint Patrick founded his first church on the hilltop site of the present Church of Ireland Cathedral around 445AD, and today the heads of both the Catholic and Anglican Churches on the island are seated here.
