Armagh, South Australia

Armagh is a small historic village in the western Clare Valley, about 137 km north of Adelaide, South Australia.

The village was named after the town and county of Armagh in Ireland.

[citation needed] It was founded in 1850 to benefit from the new copper mine, operated by the Royal Mining Company at nearby Emu Flat.

[2] Today the hills around Armagh are known for the production of wine and olive oil.

Most of the old town has vanished leaving only a brick kiln, claypit, a few houses and the Miner’s Home Hotel, now a private museum.
