Unseen Ireland - a journey through the back roads of Ireland (1)

Unseen Ireland takes you on a journey through the back roads of Ireland. Do you yearn for the less-traveled path? Allow Unseen Ireland to take you to locations where your soul will recognize you. Off the coasts of England and Wales, the Republic of Ireland occupies the majority of the island of Ireland. Dublin, the capital, is the birthplace of Oscar Wilde and the home of Guinness beer. In Dublin's Trinity College Library, the 9th-century Book of Kells and other illustrated manuscripts are on display. The nation, known as the "Emerald Isle" because of its verdant nature, is littered with castles such as historic Cahir Castle. The spectacular beauty of Ireland's Atlantic coastline faces a 2,000-mile (3,200-km) stretch of ocean, and the country's physical isolation has aided in the development of a rich cultural and traditional history, which was first tied to the Gaelic language. The country's ubiquitous grasslands, drenched in rain, form a green-hued environment that has earned it the nickname Emerald Isle. Ireland is also known for its mythology, which ranges from tales of little leprechauns hiding treasure pots to legends about the patron saint, Patrick, who is said to have rid the island of snakes and used the three-leaved shamrock as a symbol for the Christian Trinity. #ireland #unseenireland #irishtrippin #irish #irishmusic #dublin #dublinireland #placesireland
