Northern Ireland has a wealth of spectacular scenery, from the
dramatic mountain ranges of the Mournes and the Sperrins to the
deep gorges of the Glens of Antrim.
In the Northeast
is the Causeway coast, where the amazing basalt columns of Giant's
Causeway and the cliff top ruin of Dunluce Castle are situated.
The coast is peppered with peaceful, sandy beaches, soaring cliff
faces, pretty hamlets, and seaside resorts such as Portrush and
Portballintrae, and the rural
seaside town of Ballycastle. Further south is Belfast, Northern
Ireland's capital and a lively city port of culture and entertainment.
The wild Sperrin
mountains of the Northwest are Northern Ireland's largest mountain
range and are full of forests, valleys and moors, while further
north is the spectacular walled city of Londonderry - or Derry
- which has a thriving culture and arts scene as well as a fascinating
history, while the lakelands of the Southwest are home to the
historic Enniskillen Castle, and the serene waterways of Lough
Erne, which have an abundance of secluded bays, wildlife and birdlife.
The Shannon-Erne waterway has many islands steeped in ancient
history, with Celtic idols, pagan carvings and ruined churches
and abbeys scattered among them.
