Ireland is the third largest island in Europe, and the twentieth-largest island in the world. It lies to the north-west of continental Europe and is surrounded by hundreds of islands and islets. To the east of Ireland, separated by the Irish Sea, is the island of Great Britain, and to the west is open sea - nest stop North America for many.
Ireland is a special place for many who love to look at the open green countryside, it is green as it rains in Ireland a LOT. But Ireland still pulls in visitors by the plane and boat load from all over the world. Ireland has a ring of coastal mountains surrounding low central plains with lush vegetation, a product of its mild climate and frequent rainfall - did we mention the rain.
