Discover your Christian Heritage in Saint Patrick’s Country and the ancient city of the two cathedrals he founded and get back to nature with a range of fantastic outdoor activities.Northern Ireland's beauty is intertwined with tragic history, rich culture and the renowned friendliness of its people. 
  
The wild craggy mountains, splendid lakes and sweeping coastline make it an ideal playground for watersports enthusiasts, walkers, cyclists, hikers, rock climbers and sailors. 
  
But there are lots of things to keep those after a dose of culture enthralled, too. From boisterous oyster festivals to authentic horse fairs, and from ancient castles to elegant country houses, this spectacular part of Ireland is packed with things to do.
