In the shadow of Northern Ireland's vast skies, the mysterious Mountjoy Castle rises on a hill above Lough Neagh. This ruined castle, whose Irish name "Caisleán Mhuinseo" whispers into the wind, stands like a proud sentinel in the village of Mountjoy, County Tyrone. The castle was built in 1602 by order of Charles Blount, 1st Earl of Devonshire and 8th Baron Mountjoy. But times have not always been kind to this building: as early as 1643, a devastating fire left scars on the walls of the castle. What remained is a two-story brick building with the ground floor clad in stone. The architecture speaks of a time of defense and vigilance - a central rectangular block protected by four spear-shaped towers, crisscrossed by embrasures. The north-western tower testifies to the fragility of time - partially collapsed, while the western curtain wall has lost its presence. The entrance, once on the south side of the eastern curtain wall, seems to whisper stories of days gone by, while wide windows on the upper floor capture the eyes of visitors. Unfortunately, an extension at the back keeps some of the castle's secrets hidden, and the interior area is closed to visitors' eyes. But even in its ruined state, Mountjoy Castle embodies the soul and history of Northern Ireland. Not only is it a State Care Historic Monument in the townland of Magheralamfield in the Mid Ulster District, but it is also a silent testament to time, inviting every walker to pause for a moment and listen to the whispers of history.

Nice little cafe at Benburb Priory. Well worth a stop if you are in the area.

An important historic site, Tullyhogue Fort is where the O'Neills were crowned the Chiefs of Ulster. It is now planted with trees and you can enjoy views across the countryside of County Tyrone.

A mixture of wooded, paved, and gravel trails will lead you through the wonderful Lough Gall Country Park in Loughgall, County Armagh. There's a wealth of things to discover here such as bluebell and orchid-filled woodlands, a golf and football pitch, an outdoor gym and a coffee shop.

The Mall, Armagh lies between the old Jail and the Courthouse, legend has it a tunnel runs underneath linking the two. Various war memorials including a big Cannon and a memorial to the Armagh railway disaster.

Lough Neagh is the largest freshwater lake in all of the Ireland and the UK. Watch out for the famous eels if you go for a swm ;)

Chicken fillets👌👌

Small castle ruins. Unfortunately not accessible inside and "reared" from behind.
