Skellig Michael

Skellig Michael is a rock island off the southwest coast of Ireland.  Local fishermen take adventurers out and drop them off at the base of the cliffs to climb 1000 year old stone steps up to the beehive huts once inhabited by monks.  Steep cliffs, lots of puffins, and a breathtaking view of the Irish coast are to be gained through this off-the-beaten-path experience.  Read Sun Dance by Geoffrey Moorhouse for a history of the Skelligs.

Mourneview Park, Lurgan

Mourneview Park is located in the town of Lurgan, a picturesque and welcoming town located just off the shores of Lough Neagh, in the County of Armagh, Northern Ireland.

It is the home of Glenavon Football Club, the foremost Football Club in Ireland, and is well worth a visit as the best Football (Soccer) Ground to be found in Ireland.

Marvel at the large Floodlights, which when lit, illuminate not only Mourneview Park itself, but also large areas of County Armagh. The Floodlights can be seen from Coleraine, in County Londonderry, on a clear day.
