As someone who grew up on Nothern Ireland, I can second this. Despite some negative comments to this piece, I can tell you that Northern Ireland is beautiful and wondeful. And you should all visit there!

Then I spent a few days along the north Antrim coast, the fifth greatest view in the world according to a survey published last week. One might quibble somewhat with the ranking - the view from Grianan Fort is miles better for a start - but it's certainly an utterly lovely place with countless amazing beaches and headlands and blustery little coves and pubs and the Giant's Causeway.

And I second this too! The Antrim Coast is something out of this world...
