Become a visual explorer through more than 200 stunning images that
celebrate the beautiful country, culture, and history of Ireland.
Ireland holds a special place in people's hearts--even for many who
haven't been there. To some the appeal is its natural beauty, to others
it's the history; to some it's the country's strong folk tradition, to
others it feels like a mystical place. This beautiful guide celebrates
the island's most evocative and beautiful places, whether in nature or
man-made, from the miles of near-empty beaches to the Mourne Mountains
in County Down, from the pretty fishing towns of County Cork to Dublin's
elegant Georgian streets. Featuring images from both the Republic of
Ireland and Northern Ireland, Ireland ranges widely across landscapes
and history, from rugged cliffs and rolling hills to mysterious stone
circles, magnificent cathedrals and ruined abbeys; and from medieval
forts and castles to grand Victorian follies and villages abandoned
during the Potato Famine. While some images such as the striking basalt
columns of the Giant's Causeway may be familiar, others you may know
only from Game of Thrones and the Star Wars films but never realized
that they, too, are in Ireland.
