If you are wanting a more educational indoor day, then visit Saint Patrick’s Cathedral and come face to face with the inspiring architecture that continues to attract people from all over the world.The Cathedral was built to honour St. Patrick’s memory, and the construction of this richly appointed, Italianate church was completed 60 years later. It was dedicated for worship in 1873 but the magnificent interior decoration was not completed until early in the 20th century. The church has been embellished with a lovely carillon and both ancient and modern relics.For more information, go to facebook.com/DrumcreeParishRC/ Photo: pexels (stock image)
8. Armagh Robinson Library, Market Street, Armagh
The perfect way to spend a rainy day for any book lover, is the Armagh Robinson Library. Formerly known as the Armagh Public Library, it is the oldest library in Northern Ireland, founded in 1771 by Archbishop Richard Robinson as part of his plans to establish a university. Carved in stone above the Library’s public entrance is the original Greek inscription meaning “the healing place of the soul”, a message that still resonates today.Not only does this provide visitors with the chance to see rare literary finds, but it also acts as a registered museum holding ancient Irish artefacts. By organising a guided tour, visitors will be shown how to locate and handle old manuscripts and books with care, along with the opportunity to view the 1835 Ordnance Survey Maps to discover how townlands, villages or towns looked all those years ago.
