Product Description

Ireland, the 'Emerald Isle', is indeed a place that is rich in greenery and boasts some of the most spectacular and dramatically varied landscapes in the British Isles. The scenery is blessed with an abundance of variety in its countryside - rugged peaks and mountain ranges, lush pastures and spectacularly stunning coastlines. A country blessed with an extraordinarily relaxed attitude and culture, and above all else, the kind people of Ireland who offer the most genuine of friendly welcomes. Ireland is rich with remnants of its historic farming heritage, which are scattered in and around some of the most beautiful villages and towns. Picturesque country lanes and gentle rolling hills meander towards a rugged coastline strewn with tiny fishing villages that still go about their daily business as they once did, hundreds of years ago.The guide will definitely appeal to people with a real interest in the beauty, tranquillity and traditional values of the countryside, who are looking for high standards in places to stay, eat and drink and quality craftsmanship in any products purchased. Equally, for those readers who are seeking a more active life in the countryside the book provides information on walks and tours as well as details of Heritage of Ireland parks, monuments, gardens, inland waterways and traditional cultural institutions. The attractive cover design incorporates a photograph of Mount Errigal in County Donegal.
