    Lough Erne is beautiful too. Fermanagh is a lovely spot.

    Agreed. But best to stay away from Enniskillen, unless you enjoy being shouted at by angry locals over the smallest, perceived, “slight”

    The tide is turning…

    Waterford is the only one missing for me, and I'm kinda struggling to find a reason to travel there from Donegal.

    32/32 for me.

    Pretty sure it's 32/32 on bike to but I need to check regarding Tyrone.

    Some lovely mountain scenery and the Ulster American folk park in Omagh is well-worth a visit. Not really worth an overnight stay so best to bundle it with a trip to Donegal or the north coast.

    Antrim.

    I've only passed through Armagh so I don't think that counts.

    You move into the bonus round then: Fingal, Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown, South Dublin, North Riding and South Riding.

    So i was doing some pondering during a recent bold journey and figured out I've been in all of our counties bar Armagh. My ocd spiked.

    Can anyone tell me a decent reason to visit. And also... are you in that same 31 county dilemma. Bonus point for Armagh being the one that got away.

    I feel like there's a prize for "finishing" Ireland


    Maybe a united ireland?

    Believe it or not Armagh is the only one I've never been two either. My grandparents on my fathers side both came from there!

    Armagh is the centre for the church of Ireland and Roman Catholic church in ireland.
    I could not gain access to church of Ireland cathedral though.

    You'll need a time machine for that section, they were abolished in 2014

    Armagh is a nice enough town, wee bit to do about it and few nice restaurants.

    Really?
    Never had that happen in over 40 years of visiting the town...

    The folk park us dull, a visit to Asda in Strabane is much more entertaining,

    Getting that smug sense of self-satisfaction that you only get when your AH thread is still alive the day after.

    This must be the same feeling the 32 county club among us must feel :P

    If you’ve driven, or taken the train or bus from Dublin to Belfast then you have passed through county Armagh.

    Armagh town (“city”) is really lovely. Full of history and of course the brilliant planetarium (the only one on the island of Ireland) and observatory. I think of Armagh town as a sort of Kilkenny of the North.

    And my great-grandmother harked from Armagh too. :)

    Portadown is a horrible miserable dump of a place. Best avoided...

    And yet there is a palpable absent of this club on this thread, wonder why that is?

    Wheareabouts are you from? If you're from Dublin, from example, how would you get to Antrim or Down without travelling through Armagh?

    Armagh City is the Ecclesiastical Capital of Ireland. So highly important from a religious point of view. The 2 cathedral’s are worth a visit if that floats your boat.
