Derrymore House
Derrymore House is an elegant late-eighteenth-century thatched cottage orné set in a quietly beautiful landscape in County Armagh. The house is historically significant as the place where the Act of Union between Britain and Ireland is said to have been drafted in 1800. Its charming, informal character — all gothic windows and romantic landscaping — makes it a distinctive and thought-provoking stop on any tour of the Irish countryside.
