Cabins in County Armagh guide

Overview

Although a little off the beaten tourist track, the countryside of County Armagh has lots to discover campers. For scenic views and nature exploring, Lough Neagh has quiet islands, secluded bays, and cycling and walking tracks around the lake. You can also find out about St Patrick in Armagh city, learn about Ireland’s ancient past at Navan Centre and Fort, or explore the woodlands of Gosford Forest Park by bike, horse, or mountain bike—all before relaxing in your tent or caravan beside the forest.

Where to go

Lough Neagh

County Armagh borders the south of Lough Neagh, a huge lake with a surface area of 151 square miles and a wildlife haven, magnificent for birdwatching and fishing. Here you can either take peaceful walks or jump into outdoor adventures—take a boat cruise or sea safari on the lough to visit heritage sites, hear local legends, and see the sun setting over The Sperrins. Or, cycle the 128-mile loughshore trail, then visit the Oxford Island Nature Reserve to learn about the area’s nature. For camping and boat trips, check out area caravan parks.

Armagh City

Armagh city is an important place in the history of Ireland’s patron saint, St Patrick, who is said to have built a church here in the year 455 AD. St Patrick’s Roman Catholic Cathedral stands on a hill, facing St Patrick’s Church of Ireland Cathedral, which is said to have been built where the original church was.

Drop into the Armagh Astronomy Centre and Planetarium for some stargazing before strolling the tree-lined mall. You can also learn about Ireland’s past at Navan Centre and Fort, which is said to have been the headquarters of Gaelic King Conchobar mac Nessa in pre-Christian Ireland.

Gosford Forest Park

With 240 acres of woodland, Gosford Forest Park has plenty to do, including woodland trails for walking, cycling, horse riding, and mountain biking. Wildlife like red deer is abundant, and the mock Norman Gosford Castle dates back to the 1800s (and showed up in Game of Thrones). There are camping pitches in the forest park for caravans, motorhomes, and tents.

Orchard County

County Armagh has so many apple orchards, it’s known as “orchard county.” Drop into Armagh Cider Company to see where the apples are grown and their journey “from blossom to bottle” on the farm, which has been in the family since 1898. You can tour the cidery, see how the apples are pressed, fermented, and filtered, and then taste the products at the end. Or visit Long Meadow Cider, another family farm with guided tours and apple picking in September and October.
