The Islands
The guide was updated:
Otherworldly landscapes and a strong sense of tradition combine in the remote islands of Ireland's coast. It is no wonder these places have inspired so much folklore and poetry - the islands are a place of phenomenal natural, as well as culture. The remnants of settlements created by Prehistoric settlers, early Christian monks, Vikings, pirates, pilgrims, farmers and fishermen preserve a sense of the country's dramatic history.
Revel in the lively traditional music and crafts culture in the Irish-speaking islands. Daring adventurers won't be bored - many of the islands offer unique diving or water sport experiences.
Often deserted or very sparsely populated, naturalists have long treasured these islands - the expanse of the Atlantic offers a rare opportunity to see birds, whales and other marine life up close in the wild.
Although remote, an island escape is more more accessible than you may think. Some can be driven onto via bridge or tidal causeway; many others are just a short ferry journey away.
