We had an opportunity to explore the natural landscapes on the coast of Norther Ireland earlier this week. Ireland has beautiful landscapes with rolling hills, scenic mountains, and breathtaking coastlines. We walked in the giant’s footsteps at Giant’s Causeway where legend says giant, Finn McCool walked. This area is a World Heritage site as it is rooted deeply in history and has unique rock formations (caused by volcanic activity millions of years ago). Curious to know more about the legend and rock formations? Feel free to explore here!
The Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge was constructed by fisherman who used the structure to cross a narrow area to reach their salmon nets. Find out more here!
Many folks may recognize the image of trees below from the popular TV series, The Game of Thrones which features many of Northern Ireland’s beautiful landscapes. But did you know that the Dark Hedges were planted two centuries ago to impress visitors who were traveling the road towards a local mansion? Over the recent weeks, we have learned that bad weather has impacted and uprooted several of the trees. Our group was in awe of the natural beauty and fragility of this particular part of Ireland. Learn more about the Dark Hedges here!
