The story starts with Sam McGredy (the first) (late 19thC) and his passion for pansies. To fulfil his dreams he moved from Southern Ireland to a small plot in the townland of Garvaghy, Portadown, County Armagh, Northern Ireland.

Hello 2021 and Northern Ireland is once again in Covid19 “lockdown” so my car is parked and its back to long walks in my local park.
I’m lucky as Gosford Forest Park (240 acres) is just one mile from my farm here in County Armagh on the outskirts of the small historical Plantation Town of Markethill.

Life here in my home County of Armagh is largely formed around green fields and small villages mostly situated under the shadow of the ancient Cathedral City of Armagh.

Take a walk with me through these unique plantation villages and discover their origins and enjoy their landscape today. Walk at a safe distance from all with the use of my simple Audio System. To kick start my NEW Village Walking Tours I have chosen the following villages –

LOUGHGALL – A small Conservation Village built around it’s Manor House

RICHHILL – A Castle on the hill!

MARKETHILL – Built for Lord Gosford

Our "easy going" walks can take you into the heart of
your chosen place and when combined with a coach tour
create a wider insight into the area.
City Walking Tours are very popular as they allow closer access
to historical buildings while rural pathways bring you
closer to the wildlife.
