What to do near Tepee Valley

Staying at Tepee Valley gives you wonderful scope for adventures in and around County Armagh. As you leave the tranquility of your accommodation, you will find a range of activities to try including: 

  • Horse riding
  • Cycling
  • Go-karting
  • Archery
  • Abseiling
  • Mountain biking
  • Golfing 

You will also come across villages, towns and cities, all ripe for exploration and discovery. One such place is our closest neighbour, the livestock market town of Markethill, in which you will find a variety of charming shops and eateries. Just beside that is the gorgeous Gosford Forest Park, where you can take a walk around the leafy woodland, or take your bike along the specially designed mountain bike trails.

The closest city to Tepee Valley is Armagh - the ecclesiastical city of Saints and Scholars - where you can wander the cobbled streets and visit not one but two historical cathedrals. For those searching for brighter, busier city lights, Belfast is just one hour away.

Even the top must-see attractions of Northern Ireland - the Giant’s Causeway, the Mournes, Carrick-a-Rede Ropebridge - are all within driving distance of our campsite.
