  • Famine Memorial, set on Custom House Quay in the Docklands of Dublin, Ireland, memorializes the great loss of life during the Irish Potato Famine of the 1840's. This was the first recognized case of mass starvation because of loss of biodiversity. The memorial, which was established in 1997, consists of several statues of people and a dog from the Potato Famine, designed by Dublin’s local artist, Rowan Gillespie.

  • The Giants Causeway features octagonal volcanic shafts that reach out into the Celtic Sea near Bushmills on the Antrim Coast of Northern Ireland.

  • The ancient Irish hill fort of Dun Aengus, perched 300 feet above the crashing Atlantic waves on the wes, is a great place to see and sense the Celts taking a last stand with their backs to the sea, and no place else to go. The whole island of Inishmoor is hardly anything more that rocks and great sea views, but it was all they had.  <br />
<br />
Dun Aonghasa<br />
<br />
 A 700BC stone fort, the rival of any in Europe. The fort stretches to the cliff edge on the western side of the Island and the fact that it remains is testimony to the skills and determination of ancient Celtic tribesmen who lived, worked and fought here 3000 years ago. The sight of the ancient building, the sound of crashing waves against the cliff face below, and the sweet sea air, guarantee that this site stays in the memory of visitors. There are less people around in the evening if you want a chance to see the area on your own. Be careful on the cliff face. Two other impressive stone forts, Dun Eochla and Dun Duchathair are also worth the visit.<br />

  • Scenes at the Galway Inn in Lorient, Brittany where Breton musicians gather to play Irish music till the wee hours of the morning.   <br />
<br />
That feeling that music in inseperable from life is one of the things that makes Celtic music so universally popular, and it is why the Galway Inn is such a magnet of lovers of Irish music.  Except the Galway Inn isn't  in Ireland, it's in Lorient, Brittany.
