 Go to Ireland
 From the Most Beautiful Villages series. Clusters of white cottages huddled in a fold between hills of an unbelievably rich green; villages of a single street, dazzling in their array of colour washes and picturesque shop and bar signs - such are the villages of Ireland, the most beautiful of which are captured on the pages of this book in Hugh Palmer's stunning photographs and Christopher Fitz-Simon's sensitive commentaries. Following the divisions of the ancient provinces - Ulster, Leinster, Connacht and Munster - the journey is full of fascinating rural gems, some famous, others less well-known. Here are the coloured coastal villages of Cork, their vibrant houses sloping down to the Atlantic Ocean; here are the medieval buildings of Roscommon and Galway; here, too, are the villages of Antrim, standing braced against the rigours of the northern seas. Completed by a guide to the most important sites, markets, hotels and restaurants, this visual and written record of the Irish village is a warm evocation of some of the most vibrant communities in Europe.  208 pages - 10" x 12" - (9/02)
