Our Story
As we say in this part of the world, Armagh is a ‘wee’ city with a big personality and we are slap bang at its heart, right on the hill where St Patrick built his first church and beside the beautiful St Patrick’s COI Cathedral. Wake in the morning to spectacular views of the iconic St Patrick’s RC Cathedral and our friendly crew who can’t wait to share their passion for Armagh City!
All of Armagh City’s famous attractions are located on your doorstep. Picnicking on the tree-lined Georgian Mall, stargazing in the world-renowned Armagh Planetarium & Observatory, stepping back in time in Armagh County Museum and Armagh Robinson Library and touring the extremes of steeple and crypt in our two cathedrals. Follow in the footsteps of Saint Patrick to the mythical Navan Centre & Fort. Visit to its iron age dwelling and meet the Celts who will bring to life the history of the legendary Emain Macha, sacred stronghold of the hero Cu Chulainn, home of the famous Red Branch Knights and Ulster Cycle of tales.
The city has a thriving arts and cultural scene all year round with vibrant festivals such as Armagh Georgian Festival, Home of St Patrick Festival, Food & Cider Festival, William Kennedy Piping Festival, John O’Connor Writing School, John Hewitt International Summer School, 7 Hills Blues Festival, Apple Blossom Festival and Charles Wood Summer School. Our iconic historical buildings and modern, contemporary arts facilities buzz with a jam-packed calendar of events and the hostel is the prime location for immersion in the city’s festival celebrations..
The 2014 Gran Fondo Giro d’Italia, showcasing our distinctive landscape, established Armagh as a great cycling destination. Enjoy roads lined with the famous apple orchards, the striking pink Spring blossom giving way to the apple-laden branches of decades old trees. . Stopping off at Armagh Cider Company or Long Meadow Farm is an opportunity to quench the thirst, experience the sights, sounds and aromas of a traditional Armagh cider distillery and gain a new-found appreciation for the craftsmanship of the master brewer. Venture further, visiting acclaimed tourist attractions such as The Argory, Ardress House, Oxford Island & Lough Neagh Discovery Centre, Brownlow House, Dan Winter’s Cottage, FE Mc William Gallery & Studio and Ferguson’s Irish Linen Factory.
