  • A Walk Around Ireland - County by County
    A walk around Ireland - County by County This article can do little justice to the beauty and splendor that is Ireland. As we ramble around the country we will briefly mention the places that are of little acclaim - but should not be missed, to the more widely recognized locations you will find in any travel guide. These are the spots this writer has visited and will visit again, but in no way meant to suggest as the best or worst places spend a while. Ireland consists of four provinces: Leinster , Munster, Connacht and Ulster. This is Leinster - Cúige Laighean. Dublin City Co. Dublin, the largest city in Ireland, founded by the Vikings over 1,500 years ago. Being the political and commercial capital of Ireland, you will find the Presidential Residence in the Phoenix Park - the largest city park in Europe, over 1750 acres, within the city limits. Here also are many of the offices for governmental affairs, Trinity College – with the Book of Kells and Brian Boro’s harp, the General Post Office – G.P.O., a key site from the 1916 rising and and a host of museums, theaters and home to Ireland’s most famous export Guinness – at St. James Gate, where you will be able to sample the freshest pint of Guinness on the planet. Pub life is one of Ireland’s attractions and you will find an endless selection of locations to visit – but perhaps start at the “Brazenhead” one of Ireland’s oldest, licensed in 1666 but said to date from the 1300’s.
