The Lyrical Emerald Isle
From mythical leprechauns and lyrical city avenues to emerald hills and brightly painted pubs, Ireland is a place that attracts musicians, romantics and serious beer-drinkers in their hordes.
It has a history dating back to 6,000 BC that began with the settling of a mid Stone Age people, followed 4,000 years later by the arrival of southern European tribes who established a neolithic culture.
Despite being divided between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, modern Ireland is a diverse, bustling, modern country boasting numerous sites worth exploring.
Places of Interest
Croagh Patrick in Mayo and Downpatrick Cathedral, Downpatrick
The first spot is a mountain where St Patrick, credited with bringing Christianity to Ireland, fasted for 40 days in 441AD while the latter is believed to be his burial location.
Croagh Patrick is in Murrisk village, Mayo, approximately 260km from Dublin and 300km from Belfast. Downpartick Cathedral is 2 hours north of Dublin and 40 minutes south of Belfast.
Dublin Castle
Originally built in the 13th century on a site previously settled by the Vikings, who fought various battles against the Irish, the castle functioned as a fortress, a prison, treasury, courts of law and the seat of English Administration in Ireland for 700 years.
It's located off Dame Street in Dublin.
Potato Famine Remembrance Centres
The great famine of 1845-59, caused by a potato blight, is one of Ireland's biggest catastrophes because one of its consequences was the mass emigration of over two million Irish people to America, UK, Australia and Canada.
You can learn about the potato famine by visiting the Ulster American Folk Park in Omagh, County Tyrone; The Famine Museum in Strokestown Estate, County Roscommon; The Cobh Heritage Centre and the Famine Commemoration Centre in Skibbereen, County Cork.
A Choice Of Festivities
However, the above is just a small glimpse at attractions that Ireland offers. There are countess activities available all year long: from the St Patrick's Day Festival to the Dublin Chinese New Year Festival.
