Portadown

Co. Armagh

The building of the canal from Newry to Lough Neagh in the 1730s brought wealth to Portadown, which grew with the linen industry and today has developed into a busy commercial centre.  The town has a wide sloping main street and more than a dozen denominations have built churches and chapels in one small area. 

Local attractions include the Brackagh Moss Nature Reserve (+44 (0) 28 3885 1102) which was originally a raised bog with a wide range of flora and fauna. 

Golfers can take advantage of Portadown Golf Course (+44 (0) 28 3835 5356).
