From the harsh Atlantic breakers of the West Coast to the Irish Sea in the east, the Giant’s causeway on the Antrim coast a stone’s throw from Scotland, to the famous Blarney Castle in the south,Ireland is one of the few major European countries largely unspoiled by technological progress, a land where the atmosphere of history is redolent around every corner-Celtic, Viking, Norman, English, Scottish, and Irish sites can be found all over the Emerald isle.
