St. Patrick's Cathedral (Church of Ireland)

We visited when some covid measures were still in place, so we needed to sign in on arrival.

The cathedral is quite austere but interesting

The cathedral is located on a hill but is not dominant - a lovely area

There is a modest entry fee.

Beware of the changing church hours before making the journey to Armagh. The church’s website is somewhat confusing and requires several clicks to find the operating hours. As an Episcopalian of Irish descent, I was excited about making the pilgrimage to St. Patrick’s home church. Believing we had until 5:00 pm to reach the Cathedral, we set off from our prior destination and arrived at approximately 4:10 pm. The gates of the Cathedral Close were still open and workers were still on site, but the Cathedral was closed and locked. A groundskeeper told us to "come back another day."

After a long drive through curvy roads, this was quite a disappointment. However, there was some solace in the fact that the magnificent Catholic Cathedral across town was still open for visitors.

Definitely recommend a trip here. There is a lovely little museum right across the street from the cathedral that is also worth a visit.

This is a unique experience in a sacred place. The altar is especially beautiful and the gardrns worthy of a visit

Armagh is lucky to be able to offer two completely different Cathedrals in one city. Neither is better than the other as they are both wonderful in their own way. This one is definitely worth a visit. the staff here were lovely and knowledgeable too.
