Today was the highlight for Kat, as we rented a car and drove back into northern County Antrim near Armoy to see the Dark Hedges. The Dark Hedges is a row of 300 year old beech trees planted on either side of Bregagh Road for a stretch of road for ~ ½ mile. These trees arch over the center of the road in a very mystical manner. Depending on the angle of your photograph, it could be a scene out of a fairy tale.
Paul did fine driving the black Peugeot 308, only once venturing onto the wrong side of the road. And today, we finally got close up to some of the many sheep in Northern Ireland. This was an especially enjoyable drive through rural County Antrim.
Such a magical place!
Walking down to the trees.
How positively wonderful (and enchanting). It sounds as though you are having a marvelous visit with the family.
ReplyDeleteDefintely -- even though the pictures just don't capture the "feel" of the place. There's even supposed to be a lady who haunts the hedges. And most people in the Belfast area don't even know about the place although it's only about an hours drive north.
