This was a great place to visit. The tour was very interesting and wasn't a difficult walk and definitely worthwhile. We had a lovely lunch. The shop had a good selection of products.
Especially for those on the trail of St. Patrick. The St. Patrick's flavor is especially evident in the associated Centre for Celtic Spirituality.
What an entertaining place Navan Fort is and especially the living history character Finn. He was full of stories and brought the place to life.
The interpretive portion of the visit is fantastic. The climb to the top of the mound is well worth the exertion given the beautiful panoramic view from the top.
The tour guides were terrific, and the information they provided was interesting. It was pouring down rain, but on we went anyway! Worth doing.
When visiting Ireland you must emerge yourself in the history of the island. This site is a must see. Learn about the beginning of Ulster, and the brutality of the time. After your tour you can see the gift shop and have a snack in the cafe.
It's totally unique the staff are amazing, the Navan Centre is seeped with history. If you are visiting Armagh this is a 'must do' on your trip. They recently opened their 'Ecology Trail' perfect for children. The restaurant is fantastic for all ages.
This is about 40 mins walk, or a short drive / bus journey from town. There is a very good exhibition, with a fee, together with a free wander up to the 'fort', which is probably more of a site of gathering and spiritualism - there are no definitive answers as to what the site was used for, and sometimes it's nice to not know why...The walk to the 'fort' takes only a few minutes, so would recommend visiting the exhibition, which gives great insight into the archaeology and possible history of the region more widely.Part of the fee for exhibition includes short tour of likely early settlements - where questions are very welcome.Usual cafe, toilets, etc. are available.
Visited Navan Fort with a walking group and were lucky enough to get a lovely day for the walk. We had a meal afterwards in the restaurant and it was first class. All in all a great day out.
Informative and well worth the visit. Kids loved it. Was very busy when we were there. Good tourist attraction.
