Country Details

Famous for its ship building and high-quality linen, the constitutionally distinct region of Northern Ireland has witnessed the agony of internal conflict, but through it all, the wonderful, resilient population prevails. Like always, the air is clean and refreshing, dozens of small towns and fishing villages dot the land and the calming steeples of parish churches look to the future
