Ireland's features are truly striking. The strong jutting jaw-line of rocks defining the coastline contrast with soft, pretty beaches.

Its struggle for independence and individual identity means that Ireland is an intelligent and interesting companion; up and coming Dublin has a wide range of museums to explore and cutting edge art to ogle.
