County Armagh's geography ranges from the hilly Ring of Gullion to the south to a rolling drumlin landscape as you move northward towards Lough Neagh. The county is home to Armagh City as well as the uncompleted planned town of Craigavon between Portadown and Lurgan. Various places across Armagh are connected to some of Ireland's legendary figures such as Brian Boru, Saint Patrick and Cu Chulainn.
In the Counties of Ireland Explained series, I will be making a video about all 32 counties on the island of Ireland, teaching you about their geography, history, economy, culture and more.

Two videos in one week! The next video won't be an Ireland Explained but the County Carlow video will release after that.
I was here before a million subscribers!🙌
Great stuff GW! Fascinating. Another excellent job. I know how much time and effort go into these videos.
When I'm obsessed with Colin Morgan.. even his homeland map is being recommended for me to watch 🤣🤣🤣
Same😉🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭
No lie 😂
oof exactly
My great grandfather x5, John OBryan and his son Philip came to America in 1775. Philip fought in the revolutionary war and was given and land grant in Meade County, Kentucky. I imagine we are descendants of Brian Boru. Great video
Thanks for commenting! If you want to learn about Brian Boru's homeland I recommend watching the County Clare video.
@@GeographyWorld Thank you I'll check it out. Little sister has been doing some family history and would be interested thanks.
Mine, too! John Eastin (?) Shannon fought in the Revolutionary War, I believe it was a regiment in Turtle 🐢 Creek, Pennsylvania & was awarded a land grant in Kentucky.
Small world 🌎!
Aye we all.are 😂
You deserve more subscribers
I already love this series!
Keep up the great work :)
Great Video
Thanks fellow irish man!
I needed this bruv
Awesome video
Here for McChesney family history. Great info!
Great Video very informative - I really enjoy showing people what Armagh is like! Soo pretty! Thank you for sharing this BIG like number 1 + new sub 👍
Are you from Armagh yourself?
I checked your play list for County Mayo. Can you do a video for that one please? ❤
I'm doing these in alphabetical order so it's a long way away unfortunately.
Best known person from Armagh is Colin Morgan/Merlin, born in Armagh January 1 1986.
I live there
What does the map you use in the intros refer to? Some countries are greener than the others in it, but according to my understanding portugal, and czechia are part of schengen. So what does the colour signify?
Great question! It's a map of countries which I've travelled to.
@@GeographyWorld Oh understood :)
@Geography World on I love that idea so much omg
South Armagh is one of the most beautiful places in Ireland and has been largely overlooked due to the harsh british occupation during the troubles. I’ve been on top about 5 times and Everytime I can almost feel the spirit of my ancestors and legend running through the air. It’s quite an experience.
Was this series inspired by Geography Now?
Partially yes though it isn't as funny as Geography Now!
Great content, terrible distracting background music!
Sorry about the music. I have turned it down a lot in more recent videos.
@@GeographyWorld thanks for the reply. My genealogy shows Samuel Davidson married Helen Copland in county Armagh around the 1780’s . This is my Mum’s lineage, the rest of the line ended up on the north east coast of Scotland.
First comment
Grow up?
@@cycklist I'm only 12
St Malachy too you forgot him, not that I'm very religious lol
It's not landlocked
How's it not lah?
This video has got a few inaccuracies, sure, but why did you pick that one? (Not being a dik, just wondering)
Armagh is in Northern Ireland!!
It is in Northern Ireland. This series covers all 32 counties on the island of Ireland.
still ireland.
Northern Ireland is a false state. Armagh is an Irish county.
No sorry its from ireland 😉 majority Catholic county.
Just hold on parts of south Armagh were calked bandit country, not in most of Armagh especially Loughgall or my town Portadown and Lurgan so, I think you’re overplaying it somewhat. I’m an Ulsterman/UlsterScot’s protestant with northern Irish heritage so an Irishman not a unionist especially but I definitely am if it means joining with anything to do with the Marxist wannabe Sinn Fein or Ira in that case I’ll fight and die for the UNION. No Surrender ever.
