Armagh

 

Armagh, in county Armagh is a particular area of interest in Northern Ireland. Although by many to be considered as a large town, it was granted city status, but remains the most under-populated city in both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

 

Armagh is a site of worship for both Celtic paganism and Christianity, calling for many visitors from across the world. Armagh features two cathedrals, both situated on hills and named after St. Patrick, making Armagh the only city in the world to have two cathedrals with the same name.

The planetarium is an attraction of special interest and the reconstruction of the shopping high street has introduced a visually fantastic shopping street to enjoy. Armagh is very accommodating to visitors with many accommodation choices including hotels, guesthouses and bed and breakfasts and is easily accessible by road and rail.
