UK Cities. Ely? Armagh? St Asaph? - 12 Days Of The Spriggan Gamer #12
So this is the 5th January, aka Epiphany when the wise men visited Baby Jesus, officially the end of christmas, when all the Christmas decorations have to be taken down - which also means it's the end of the series. It's been difficult making 1 video per day for this last period but it's really been worth it - I feel like I've become a more confident person and I feel justified I've been able to share what I'm interested in ie geography and geoguessr with you. If that's not what you watch or like to watch on youtube that's 100% ok, you don't have to watch my videos if you don't think they will interest you. It's also fully improved by love of geoguessr, before I played it, but I found it hard to play without commentating on it and I found myself commentating to myself a lot :) and if I got an insaneeeee score I was annoyed and disappointing no one got to see it, so all those games and scores which went unnoticed don't really matter a whole lot because I've managed to show you some gameplay. I know my channel isn't good quality or contains good commentary but I hope you understand and enjoy the videos for what they are. I've tried to make it as good as possible but without all the expensive kit, it's hard to gain top quality videos. I've enjoyed recording and editing these, even though it's took up virtually all of my free time - and if you've liked them that's all that matters.
So I hope you enjoy this last video.... one of my weaker performances but in a topic I'm not so good on, but it was still fun to do and hopefully good to watch.
It's all not over just yet though... like I commented on I'm hoping to make a highlights video in a couple of weeks so stay tuned for that :)
Sorry if you've commented suggestions on these videos.... as you should be aware of is that they are all pre recorded so I couldn't take one of your suggestions to use in this series. BUT, I do read all the comments and if your suggestion is good and feesable then I can do it as a later video, even though it's not included in this series, so don't feel that if I've not done it I've not seen it
Do you think you know more cities than me? If so follow this link to jetpunk and see if you can beat my score

Description
Armagh County Museum - Orchard County's History - NI
Armagh County Museum is a small building located in the city centre. Armagh city is in County Armagh Northern Ireland.
The museum includes many old wedding dresses, military uniforms, railway memorabilia and natural history specimens. If tempted to visit Armagh - its definitely worth a stop. Especially for anyone interested in old costumes - including the Royal Irish Fusiliers.
Armagh is a medium-sized city that is located in county Armagh, Northern Ireland, and although it is an old city when it comes to the history that it carries, it is considered not much of an old one when it comes to receiving the city name which it received in 1994.
One of the most famous historical places and touristic attractions in Armagh city is St. Patrick's Cathedral which was built by Saint Patrick back in 457 and which eventually became the ecclesiastical capital. It is also known that Saint Patrick is the reason behind making this city one that is educational and religious (
It is not just about St. Patrick's Cathedral that one would visit Armagh city to know more about its history, but there are also some other important historical places which happen to be educational at the same time and one of them happen to be Armagh County Museum.
Armagh County Museum is a museum that is located in Armagh city, just on the edge of the tree-lined Mall in the centre of the city. Armagh County Museum is considered the oldest County Museum in Ireland since it opened back in 1937. While walking the streets of Armagh city, there are a couple of buildings which you might come across and ask yourself what these are, one of them happen to be Armagh County Museum.
The interesting thing to know about this building is that the building passed through other steps before becoming a museum and this tells much about the history of the building and how old it is. Inside this museum, one will get the chance to know more about the stories of those people who lived, worked or even had any other kind of connections with Armagh city.
Armagh County Museum offers visitors different things that they could see and which will let them know more about the history of this city, the collection inside range from local history and fine art to archaeology and natural history; in other words we could say that it is the ideal place for people to explore and experience a flavor of the famous orchard county.
There are lots of stories inside this museum which are delivered through the things that are displayed inside, there are wedding dresses, military uniforms, rural crafts and lots of other things with every single one of them telling its own story and the story of the person who was related to it; every one of them will tell its story that has been there throughout the history.
It is not just about the things which are displayed in the museum, but it is also about the exhibitions which are held there. There are some temporary exhibitions held in the museum that highlight objects from the collections and material borrowed from further afield. Since this is working with the local community, there is a venue which is open for a wide variety of exhibitions that include the stirring music of the pipes and the best of contemporary works by local artists.
There is always something to explore in every single city you manage to visit and go to and when it comes to Armagh city in Northern Ireland, there are different places to check in addition to St. Patrick's Cathedral and Armagh County Museum, there is also the Famous Armagh Observatory and Planetarium which has been there since a very long period of time but which has gone through lots of advancements to be in the same form it appears in today (
There is also the famous Navan Fort that is considered also from the things that highlight this city and one of the places that people tend to visit Armagh city for ( which is one of our favorite places to visit and one of those which we will keep recommending for those asking about places to visit when they are in Armagh city, county Armagh.
Armagh city is one of the old historical cities in Northern Ireland which is filled with stories told through the touristic places that people tend to go to and visit and which are part of those buildings that usually grab the eyes and bring people to come inside them and discover more.
We have been to Armagh city before and visited Navan Fort, Armagh County Museum, Armagh Planetarium and Observatory, and we have also checked St. Patrick's Cathedral, but we still believe that there are other things which we have to visit in this medium-sized city and get to know more about its history (

Places to see in ( Lurgan - UK )
Places to see in ( Lurgan - UK )
Lurgan is a town in County Armagh, Northern Ireland. The town is near the southern shore of Lough Neagh and in the north-eastern corner of the county. Lurgan is about 18 miles (29 km) south-west of Belfast and is linked to the city by both the M1 motorway and the Belfast–Dublin railway line. It had a population of about 23,000 at the 2001 Census. It is within the Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon district.
Lurgan is characteristic of many Plantation of Ulster settlements, with its straight, wide planned streets and rows of cottages. It is the site of a number of historic listed buildings including Brownlow House and the former town hall.
Historically the town was known as a major centre for the production of textiles (mainly linen) after the industrial revolution and it continued to be a major producer of textiles until that industry steadily declined in the 1990s and 2000s. The development of the 'new city' of Craigavon had a major impact on Lurgan in the 1960s when much industry was attracted to the area. The expansion of Craigavon's Rushmere Retail Park in the 2000s has affected the town's retail trade further.
Lurgan sits in a relatively flat part of Ireland by the south east shore of Lough Neagh. The two main formations in north Armagh are an area of estuarine clays by the shore of the lough, and a mass of basalt farther back. The earliest human settlements in the area were to the northwest of the present day town near the shore of the lough. When the land was handed to the Brownlow family, they initially settled near the lough at Annaloist, but later settled where the town was eventually built. The oldest part of the town, the main street, is built on a long ridge in the townland (baile fearainn) of Lurgan. A neighbouring hill is the site of Brownlow House, which overlooks Lurgan Park.
Lurgan has historically been an industrial town in which the linen industry predominated as a source of employment during the Industrial Revolution, and is said to have employed as many as 18,000 handloom weavers at the end of the 19th century, a figure significantly higher than the town's resident population at the time.
Lurgan town centre is distinctive for its wide main street, Market Street, one of the widest in Ireland, which is dominated at one end by Shankill Church in Church Place. A grey granite hexagonal temple-shaped war memorial sits at the entrance to Church Place, topped by a bronze-winged statue representing the spirit of Victorious Peace. A marble pillar at the centre displays the names of over 400 men from the town who lost their lives in the First World War.
At the junction of Market Street and Union Street is the former Lurgan Town Hall, a listed building erected in 1868. It was the first site of the town's library in 1891, was temporarily used as a police station in 1972 when it was handed to the Police Authority, and is today owned by the Mechanics' Institute and is available for conferences and community functions.
Lurgan railway station opened by the Ulster Railway on 18 November 1841, connecting the town to Belfast Great Victoria Street in the east and Portadown and Armagh in the west. The Great Northern Railway of Ireland provided further access to the west of Ulster which was then closed in the 1950s and 1960s from Portadown railway station. Presently Lurgan railway station is run by Northern Ireland Railways with direct trains to Belfast Great Victoria Street and as part of the Dublin-Belfast railway line. The Enterprise runs through Lurgan from Dublin Connolly to Belfast Central, and a change of train may be required at Portadown to travel to Newry or Dublin Connolly.

Armagh - A Civil Parish - The County Town of County Armagh
Armagh, Northern Ireland is the county town of county Armagh and it is also a civil Parish. Armagh is the ecclesiastical capital of Ireland and it is now the place where the two cathedrals named after Saint Patrick are found along with the old buildings.
Armagh in Northern Ireland has been famous for its Georgian architecture as well as some of the historic buildings that date back to many many years which are found there, just as the ones we have come across by this trail we started.
The adventure we have started in Armagh - all excited - began with the Armagh Chapel and the Archbishop's Palace or which is now considered the Armagh Council Offices. To make the trip more adventurous, we decided to go up the hill trying to find the Ice House, which we finally managed to find.
The Archbishop's Palace that is found in Armagh, Northern Ireland, is one of the oldest landmarks of the place; it is a Neo-classical building located over 300 acres of parkland just south of the center of the city. This palace was used in different ways, since it started as the primary residence of the Church of Ireland Archbishops of Ireland for over 200 years, and then it was the headquarters of Armagh City and District Council until 2015.
On the same ground and just adjacent to the Palace, there is the Primatial Chapel which was also built for Robinson and was taking the style of a classic old iconic temple. For those who got the chance to see the interior of this chapel, they almost know why it is considered one of the most beautiful Irish ecclesiastical interiors found out there.
The ground where the Archbishop's palace was built is considered huge to the extent that you might come across several things which you didn't even know existed and which are all considered part of the place and might have been built for specific reasons, such as the Rokeby Obelisk, which is found at the top where the high point of the palace is found, known as Knox's hill.
Apart from the treasures and buildings that one will manage to find in this place, we have to mention that its location is also considered special! We have been to the Archbishop's palace and wished that these are our offices now due to the view it has; it is on a high ground itself and thus offer a good view of the city and the Church of Ireland Cathedral.
On the same grounds of this outstanding palace, there are several things that one could see, such as the the walled garden at the north end with a garden house, 19th century glasshouse and an ice house at the west of the palace as well as that other one which is found just near the main entrance of the palace, there are the stables and the coach yard but which is now being used as a visitor's center, as well as one of the three main entrance gates which is still found regardless those which have been demolished, some ruins of a Franciscan Friary, and finally a holly well that was dedicated to Saint Brigid.
When one visits a new destination and historical location, he/she should always move in every road and get into any building that allows access in order to make out the best of this first visit, such as what we have done from running around the place, trying to climb the old ruins, and reaching out for every single door :-)!
These are all beautiful things to be seen but what got our attention at the end of the trip are the ruins of the Franciscan Friary which were discovered by Archbishop Patrick O'Scannail in 1263, which is considered a very very long time ago. This Friary is found at the south-east edge of Armagh and could be also found at the entrance of the Palace Demesne. What we have to mention here about the Franciscan Friary is that it is the longest monastery found in Ireland - an enough reason to shed the lights on it!
As a family, this was the first time for us to visit Armagh, Northern Ireland, and we think that we might come back again to check whether we could get inside or not. We enjoyed the whole trip starting from choosing the trail which we are going to follow and ending with trying to climb the ruins of the Franciscan Friary, of course that's all apart from the running the kids have been doing around!
Northern Ireland is a country to enjoy lots of historical places in and make the best out of the vacation you took. You could visit Belfast City Hall ( you could also check the Cliffs of Moher ( you could take your family and enjoy the Crumlin Road Gaol ( you could visit the Ulster American Folk Park Omagh and enjoy a good day there ( and you could also manage to come across Oranmore Castle (
Northern Ireland attractions are numerous, so choose what you want to visit and tell us your feedback! (
Have a nice trip to Northern Ireland!

Places to see in ( Craigavon - UK )
Places to see in ( Craigavon - UK )
Craigavon is a planned settlement in northern County Armagh, Northern Ireland. Its construction began in 1965 and it was named after Northern Ireland's first Prime Minister: James Craig, 1st Viscount Craigavon. It was intended to be the heart of a new linear city incorporating Lurgan and Portadown, but this plan was abandoned and less than half of the proposed work was done.[3] Among locals today, Craigavon refers to the area between the two towns. It is built beside two artificial lakes and is made up of a large residential area (Brownlow), a second smaller one (Mandeville), plus a central area (Highfield) that includes a substantial shopping centre, a courthouse and the district council headquarters.
The lakes, a wildlife haven, are surrounded by woodland with walking trails. There is also a watersports centre, petting zoo, golf course and ski slope in the area. In most of Craigavon, motor vehicles are completely separated from pedestrians, and roundabouts are used extensively. Craigavon sometimes refers to the much larger Craigavon Urban Area, which includes Craigavon, Lurgan, Portadown, Waringstown and Bleary.
Craigavon was planned as a 'new city' for Northern Ireland that would mirror cities such as Cumbernauld and, later, Milton Keynes in Great Britain. It was conceived as a linear city that would link the towns of Lurgan and Portadown to create a single urban area and identity.
The design of Craigavon was based on Modernism and imbued with the spirit of the age. The planners separated motor vehicles from pedestrians and cyclists wherever possible, creating a network of paths allowing residents to travel across Craigavon without encountering traffic.
Craigavon was designed to be a very child-friendly environment with small playgrounds dotted throughout the residential areas. There was an emphasis on providing green space in the housing estates and safe paths to cycle on. The new town was also provided with many civic amenities including a leisure centre, library, shopping centre, civic centre, a large park with artificial lakes, playing fields, a petting zoo, public gardens and an artificial ski slope.
Craigavon lies on an area of flat land near the southeastern shore of Lough Neagh. The surrounding settlements (listed clockwise) are Aghacommon (north), Lurgan (northeast), Corcreeny (east), Bleary (southeast) and Portadown (southwest). It is separated from these surrounding settlements mostly by fields. The narrow gap between Craigavon and Portadown is marked by the fields/playing fields in Lisnisky and Kernan. The gap between Craigavon and Lurgan is narrower, being marked by fields/playing fields in Ballynamony, Tullygally, Taghnevan and Monbrief.

Armagh Planetarium in 360 Degree Video - Northern Ireland
The Planetarium and Observatory in Armagh is an amazing place to visit for the day. Check out this short 360 degree video on the place and see if it ticks off all your star gazing ambitions :-) Hope you enjoy! (
Visiting Armagh Planetarium will be like taking a break from all the cultural related museums and places that you will get to check in Northern Ireland and also will feed your knowledge about astronomy and give those who already love it the chance to know more and take a step closer.
Armagh Planetarium is a world renowned astronomical educational establishment that was opened back in 1968 and its main purpose was to bring the world of astronomy to the people. This educational facility is different because what we found out is that it tends to carry information for every single person, starting from those going to nursery and ending with adults as well who might want to enhance their knowledge about the world of astronomy or even start their journey in it.
Since the mission of Armagh Planetarium is to promote the knowledge and understanding of astronomy and related sciences, it also tries to make the journey that schools and other visitors make to the place one that is not delivered in so much of an educational way, but instead let people perceive all the information in a way that don't give them the feeling of teaching. For schools, the place always tends to work on the concept of asking children some questions to let them engage through the answers.
It was a good experience for us - me and Michelle and not just the kids :-) - and we really enjoyed being in that theatre-like place which gives visitors the chance to sit back and get entertained with the educational shows that bring the stars, the planets, and spacecraft in full color on the surface of the planetarium's dome as narration, sound effects, and music take us through an educational journey about the wonders of the universe.
Armagh Planetarium is situated in Armagh city in Northern Ireland and it is close enough to the city centre where Armagh Observatory is found in about 14 acres of landscaped grounds which is known as the Armagh Astropark.
It is really interesting to get to know more about the planet you are living in as well as those other ones surrounding it and that is exactly the thing that brought us to Armagh Planetarium and got us to walk through it and see what it has from information to offer us - it was really an informative trip which we are happy about doing.
Just next to the planetarium, there is the observatory where around 25 astronomers are based, studying stellar astrophysics, the sun, solar system astronomy, and the Earth's climate - this is another place that you could explore in the Astropark while visiting Armagh Planetarium and where you could also get some information that will enhance the knowledge you already have.
You might consider this trip as some kind of educational one, but there are still other beautiful places that you could check and visit in Armagh, Northern Ireland ( From these places that one could visit in Armagh city, there is Navan Centre and Fort which is about the Celtic myths of the Ulster Cycle ( St. Patrick's Catholic Cathedral is also another important destination in this city ( Armagh Cathedral is also a must visit ( and there is also Armagh County Museum (
Don't worry about the idea of taking your kids to the observatory because what you will find out later is that you too got the chance to receive some good information which you might have never even thought about trying to search for - which was what happened with me while being there and is one reason why I loved the place.
We have tried to bring this trip in a 360 degree video in order to give people the chance to enjoy their time in the planetarium and feel as if they are the ones standing there - even help those who might be facing some problems in going to the place and checking it all by themselves - so we hope you get that feeling and enjoy being in the place.
The planetarium is a registered charity and that is another thing we love about the place and one thing that got us excited to go and check it all by ourselves - and we even recommend it for all those who will be in Armagh city or will be near and could pass by during their stay - they will never regret the time they are going to spend there.
Have you been to Armagh Planetarium or Observatory before? What will you mention as being the highlight of your visit which made you fall in love with the place as a whole?
