Attractions
The
Giant Causeway : The sheer strangeness of this place and the bizarre
regularity of its basalt columns has made the Giant Causeway the subject
of numerous legends. It has been estimated that 37000 basalt columns extend
from the cliffs down into the sea. The Giant Causeway attracts many tourists,
who are taken by the busload from the visitors' centre down to the shore.
Nothing however, can destroy the magic of this place, with its looming
grey cliffs and shrieking gulls; paths along the coast allow you to escape
the crowds. Co Antrim
Kilkenny
Castle : Built in the 1190's, Kilkenny Castle was occupied right up
until 1935. With its drum towers and solid walls, the castle retains its
medieval form. High spots of the tour include the library, the wood-panelled
dining room and the Chinese bedroom. Best of all, is the Long Gallery,
rebuilt in the 1820's to house the Butler art collection. Also, there
is a pleasant rolling parkland which is nice for a stroll.
