Fodor's Expert Review No. 5 Vicars' Hill

In Armagh you can enjoy what they like to call a "Moth" morning, which has nothing to do with entomology but is an acronym for "Morning on the Hill." It incorporates a visit to No. 5 Vicars' Hill, now a museum with touch screens and displays of ancient coins and prints. You can see early Christian and pre-Christian artifacts and the 5th-century ogham stone (an early medieval alphabet in Irish inscription) known as the Drumconwell Stone donated to the library in 1879. There's a scale model of the old town, maps of Armagh, and records from the Beresford Collection. For the remainder of the morning your visit may include the nearby Robinson Library (43 Abbey Street) which contains 8,000 antiquarian books on theology, philosophy, voyages, and travel, as well as history, medicine, and law. Complete your morning by calling into St. Patrick's Church of Ireland (Anglican) Cathedral.
