St Mary’s Church, Lisnagade

The graveyard at St Mary's is worth stopping for if you're driving between Markethill and the surrounding countryside. It's a modest church - nothing flashy - but the setting is genuinely peaceful, with old headstones scattered across sloping ground and decent views across rural Armagh. The building itself dates back centuries, though it's the kind of place you'll spend twenty minutes at most unless you're really into gravestone inscriptions or local history.

Families with young children might find it a bit dull on its own, but it slots nicely into a broader walk around the area. History buffs will appreciate the older graves and the church structure, while anyone after a quiet moment away from the road will find it properly restful. There's nothing to prepare you for - no admission fees, no opening times to chase down - just turn up and have a wander.

If you're camping at Tepee Valley Campsite nearby, this is the sort of place to fill a morning before heading out on longer walks. It's not a destination in itself, but it's the kind of small local stop that makes a countryside day feel complete. The walk through the graveyard takes the edge off having been stuck in a car, and the views back towards Markethill are fine on a clear day.
