Armagh city is one of Ireland’s oldest and most significant ecclesiastical centres. Two cathedrals - one Catholic, one Church of Ireland - both bear the name St Patrick’s and sit on twin hills facing each other across the city. It’s a striking piece of urban geography that tells you a good deal about Irish history in a single view.
The orchard country around Armagh is worth knowing about if you’re there in spring. The county is known as the Orchard of Ireland, and the blossom season from late April into May turns the countryside around Loughgall and Richhill into something genuinely beautiful. It’s a quieter side of Northern Ireland that most visitors miss.
Newry sits right on the border and has a practical, unpretentious character. It’s a good place to pick up supplies or have a meal if you’re passing through, and the surrounding countryside - particularly towards Slieve Gullion - is worth exploring if you have a day free.
The drive from Dublin to Armagh takes roughly 2 hours on a clear run. You’ll cross from the Republic into Northern Ireland along the way, which involves no border formalities at present. If you’re travelling with non-EU passports, it’s still worth having identification to hand just as a matter of habit.
