Armagh have just won the All-Ireland football championship, July 2024, beating Galway by one point in a tense final.

The small county, famous for its association with the world's most famous saint, Saint Patrick, is also home to some fine landscapes, architecture and natural beauty.

From apple orchards to ring dyke volcanic complexes Armagh has only previously won the All-Ireland once, in 2002.

82,300 people packed out Croke Park in Dublin for the final between Armagh and Galway but millions watched from home and in pubs across Ireland. Even the BBC broadcast the match live in Britain through its iPlayer.

Gaelic football is a little bit like a mixture of soccer and rugby but predates both by centuries with the earliest surviving record going back to 1670. The modern game was developed by Maurice Davin for the GAA (Gaelic Athletic Association) in 1885.

And of course I now have to mention Daniel Wiffen's gold medal and new Olympic record at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games in the 800 metres freestyle swimming as well as his bronze in the 1,500 metres.

Armagh / Ard Mhacha is a county that Panoramic Ireland knows well, so here are some visual reasons to Love Armagh.
