DVD Review - " Northern Ireland " Majestic scenery, traditional Irish airs and a fascinating commentary combine to make this 55-minute overview of Northern Ireland both informative and entertaining.

Educational as well as enjoyable, we learn that five of the six counties meet at Lough Neagh, that Ireland 's oldest Christian monument is in Armagh, and that the Old Bushmills Distillery is the world's oldest licensed whiskey maker. Intriguing are the views of the Beaghmore Stone Circles on a wild moorland in Tyrone and the nigmatic statues of White Island and Boa in Fermanagh. And captivating is the shot of Slemish Mountain where St. Patrick herded sheep when he was a slave.

In our review, we've jumped all over the province in an effort to mention a bit about each county, the DVD is a lot more orderly - and the pace much more leisurely! The tour begins with the walled city of Londonderry and ends in the orchard county of Armagh. In-between we see the coastal splendour of Antrim, the lakes of Fermanagh, the wide variety of views in Down, the bleak bog land of Tyrone, and the spectacular coastal roads of Antrim.
