County Armagh is of the 100 cermonial counties of the UK. It is one of 6 counties located in Northern Ireland, and of these it has the smallest land area. The county city of Armagh is the ecclesiastical capital of all Ireland. County Armagh is known as the Orchard County because the land is so fertile for apple-growing.

Its main town is Armagh, in the middle of the county, although Lurgan and Portadown, in the north of the county, each have larger populations.

The county borders Lough Neagh to the north, County Down to the east, County Tyrone to the north-west, and counties Louth and Monaghan, both in the Republic of Ireland, to the south and south-west respectively.
