It's really amazing, the similarity between different landscapes of the British Isles.
Much of Ireland reminds me of the sheep-grazed, grassy hills and valleys of much of Wales, Northern England and Southern Scotland, my type of country.
Ireland is a very beautiful country and not as crowded as the UK, although not as rugged and barren as Scotland either.
It is really a land of rolling green hills and sheep farming. It makes me think of the Pennines a lot.
If I don't forget I'll start a thread about the similarities of the landscapes.

Don't tell them but I have noticed it too. Maybe they should just rejoin the UK on their own terms since they are so bloody bankrupt. :D:coffee:

Ireland looks a lot like parts of Northern England, Southern Scotland or the West Coast of Wales.
The geology, landscapes, flora, fauna, weather, architecture and looks are all very similar.

I'm sure you'll love the Azores too.
Just like this:

Yes, I was actually fascinated with the Azores and Madeira for quite a while.
