South Armagh Political Tour

If you are someone with a keen interest in the political history of Northern Ireland then this unique and riveting 'OPERATION BANNER' guided coach tour to South Armagh cannot be missed.

​

On this tour you will hear at first hand about the key military engagements carried out between Irish Republicans and the British Army in South Armagh, an area which was once described as 'The most dangerous posting for any British soldier in Northern Ireland'.

You will be led by two knowledgeable and engaging guides, one a former Irish Republican activist from the area and the other an ex-British soldier posted to South Armagh. Listen as each relates his own personal experience of the conflict.
