PREVIEW:
Armagh, like Down and Monaghan which adjoin it, is a county of
gentle hills - the land becoming more hilly towards the south,
where Slieve Gullion rises to 1,893 feet. Around Richill and
Loughanll in the north is a rich fruit growing area, which has
earned for Armagh the title of “The Garden of Ulster”, it is
noted for Bramley apples, garden plants and jam. Lurgan and
Portadown are important centres of the linen industry. This area
was the scene of many events in the epic literature ancient
Ireland. In history it also holds an important place, and the
ancient city of Armagh - in prehistoric times the seat of Ulster
kings - has been Ireland’s ecclesiastical capital for 1,5000
years.
