Synopsis

This travel handbook covers all aspect of the island of Ireland, both north and south. Features include: first-hand reviews of the best places to stay, eat and drink - not just in Dublin, Belfast and the other main towns, but in the remotest rural villages and quietest ports as well; in-depth accounts of all the historic sites, from Neolithic Newgrange and the monastic Rock of Cashel to the Georgian splendour of Strokestown House; tips on exploring the eerie limestone terraces of the Burren, the savage coasts of Kerry and Donegal, Sligo's lush lowlands and the landscapes of every other region; and background on topics as diverse as folk music, the ancient mythologies of Ireland and the tortured politics of the country, past and present.
