Ireland in review

For an island settled 40,000 years ago, Ireland remains remarkably unspoilt. Beyond the cosmopolitan cities of Dublin and Belfast, the wildness of the countryside is magical and otherworldly, from the rugged beauty of the Ring of Kerry's mountains to the lush greeness of west Cork, where even the beaches have grass growing on them. The visitor cannot help but hear the whispers of history in the wind at sites such as the huge Stone Age passage tomb of Newgrange in County Meath or the Drombeg stone circle near Skibbereen. Ancient places like these stir a song in the heart, older, yet still akin to the spontaneous musical outbursts you might be lucky enough to witness after pub "lockdown" - closing time at a famous Irish hotel. And the locals are so friendly they'll grow on you like the grass.
