This is the land that St Patrick walked and Heaney celebrated. Ireland’s Beautiful North is an introduction to Ulster, featuring a selection of the sights and places that go to make this province a place of such constant fascination, from the awesome geology of the Giant’s Causeway to the waves that break on the soft sands of the Atlantic seaboard, from the murals of Belfast to the churches of Armagh and the ancient remains of Navan Fort, from the Fermanagh and Cavan lakelands to the Glens of Antrim and the Mourne Mountains.
