Ireland is a magical place to visit and is noted for its wonderful scenery, it’s castles and ancient monasteries and churches, its lovely cities and quaint towns and villages and its warm friendly people and of course its forty shades of green.
For a small country it has a great variety of breath-taking scenery. The green forests of Wicklow ,the flat Curragh of Kildare, famous for it’s race-horses and its Curragh race-course where the Irish Derby is run, the Shannon river ,flowing down through the centre of the country,
and the rugged Western sea-board stretching from Donegal down to Kerry and Cork.
