Irelands landscapes

Ireland's landscapes are renowned the world over and the reason why apparently 82% of visitors to Ireland to see the scenery and sights just as the Cliffs of Moher and Giant's Causeway. Sculpted over the millennia by both natural and human forces Ireland's landscapes are truly beautiful and a joy to behold any time of year. If you are fond of photography and who doesn't own a camera phone these days than you will find plenty of dramatic photo opportunities, like this pair, but please be careful....

Ireland's landscapes vary from the wild, storm lashed coastlines of the Western seaboard or the Wild Atlantic Way as it is being marketed these days, which stretches from Malin Head at the tip of the Inishowen Peninsula in the North of Ireland right down to the West Cork and on around into Kinsale, a journey of some 2500 kms, to tranquil, green, rolling hills of the Magical Midlands Ireland's landscapes to can boast of having a the world renowned limestone Karst region called the Burren which is a riot of wild alpine flowers in Spring and early Summer on the surface, yet home to a dramatic underground world of caves and watercourses, including the longest stalactite in Europe at Doolin Cave also in County Clare.

Is it any wonder that Ireland's dramatic landscapes are steeped in myths, legends and fairytales, stretching back 5000 years to the age of the Celts 'Brú na Bóinne' (Newgrange) and way beyond.....Ireland is one of few places in the world where you can walk in the 385 million year old footsteps of the dinosaurs down on Valentia Island in County Kerry. But don't just take my word for it, come and see Ireland's scenery for yourself
