How to get there

Coming by Car

If you are driving from Belfast take the M1 motorway southbound. Take the A3 (signposted Armagh) at Junction 11. On a clear day the trip takes about 45 minutes. From Dublin take the M1 North and cross over the border into Northern Ireland, then follow A1 (then A28) signs for Armagh. Plan on about 90 minutes. Once in the city, follow signs to the city centre. Dobbin Street Lane, is set back from the main drag, not far from the old cathedral area. The roads are fairly good and there are some nice images of the green field as we drive along.

The A28 heads straight in from other locations like Newry. Or from Portadown, just a quick zip down the A3. You come across the odd roadworks on the way so keep an eye for signs.

Using Public Transport

Dr. Powell also made clear that trains don’t stop in Armagh itself. The nearest station is Portadown, approximately 15 miles away. Take a bus from there into the city centre. It’s uncluttered, and saves on fuel. Some taxis are floating around if you want a lift from the station.
