Taking time out is important for mind, body and soul and being in and appreciating nature is one way to catch a glimmer (a sense of joy or safety) in daily life.

Some suggestions to find a little glimmer in daily life:

Cathedral Gardens   
The Cathedral Gardens, located in the grounds of St Patrick’s Church of Ireland Cathedral is a hidden oasis in the city. The garden is accessed through a gate in the grounds and is a calm space, with pretty views over the city skyline. Take time to be and just relax.  Access is generally during normal Cathedral opening times.

Navan Centre and Fort
Feel like being on top of the world? Stretch your legs and climb to the top of Navan Fort. The view (on a clear day!) is awesome and helps to put everything into perspective as you feel the breeze and enjoy the peacefulness. Stand in the footsteps of our Celtic ancestors and consider the landscape as they would have done some 2000 years ago. Don’t forget to enjoy a warming coffee and scone when you return to the centre!

Loughgall Country Park
The large country park is in the middle of Orchard County has a beautiful lake for fishing, trails and paths to explore.  The beauty of the natural environment provides a glorious backdrop to view and appreciate the changes of the season.

Spa Time
Spa venues are dotted across the destination – Basalt Day Spa at Armagh City Hotel;  White Orchid Beauty Spa, Armagh; Health and Wellbeing Suite at South Lake Leisure Centre. Take time out, relax and unwind and put yourself in the hands of experienced therapists who will make your relaxation time a pleasant one.
