Just 40 minutes from Belfast set in the heart of the Orchard County sits the pretty village of Richhill and nearby Sleepy Valley. Travel through the rolling hills planted with rows and rows of apple trees. small family farms, traditional rural buildings and a very colourful historical past. A history that was to shape the lifestyle of Northern Ireland to this day.

The main street of the village has its local grocery shop, village hall, church and right in the square the family run Groucho's Pub.

Living off the land today is a big part of life in this small county of Armagh.

What about a quick skip around Belfast followed by a trip out into the working countryside?

OK yes you would like to see Belfast today and learn all about The Troubles, its history and see it's famous landmarks. Well a one hour tour around Belfast with me as your on board Tourist Guide will give you all that.

A step away from the City will reveal a bigger picture of life in rural Northern Ireland today. Into our villages, around our farms, and experience our love of tea, homemade bread and cakes. Now that's what I call seeing the countryside!

Look forward to welcoming you to our homeland.

Big strong hardy farmers never talk about fairies but many still have fairy trees in the middle of their fields and prefer to drive around them rather than upset the fairies!

Why not step out around the long twisty lanes in rural Ulster and discover life here well away from the noisy City. Hang on a field gate and admire the structure of our small family farms passed down from generation to generation.

Listen to the local dialect and allow the farmers to ask all about you and why you are here!
