She has extensive experience guiding international, national, and local groups enjoying these opportunities to showcase Armagh’s various strands of history from its Celtic roots, through to the legacy of St Patrick who founded his first stone church in Ireland in 445 AD on Drumsaillech, the Hill of Armagh. Fast forwarding through the centuries Armagh is admired near and far for the breathtaking Georgian buildings which are always part of the route on the walking or coach tours.
