5 min (2.2 miles) 

- Where myth meets history. Just minutes from Armagh City Hotel, the Navan Centre & Fort (Emain Macha) is one of Ireland’s most important archaeological and mythological sites. This ancient stronghold is steeped in legend—home to the warrior hero Cu Chulainn, the Red Branch Knights, and the tales of the Ulster Cycle.

According to myth, the goddess Macha marked the earth with her brooch pin to form the site's iconic ring—still visible today.
