“The Glens of Antrim, with their green secret places, their streams and waterfalls, weave a magic that is all their own.” John Hewitt (1907-1987):

“The Causeway coast is a place where the sea and stone converse, where the basalt speaks of ancient fires.” Seamus Heaney (1939-2013):
“The landscape in Ireland is just – I’ve never been in such a beautiful place with the lakes and ocean and everything.” Liam Neeson: Born June 7, 1952
“The Giant’s Causeway is a place where the hand of nature has shaped a spectacle that defies belief, with its basalt columns standing like giants’ stepping stones.” Laurence Sterne: 1713,-1768
