Irish Sheep
Irish sheep Everyone loves sheep. Take a tour or go by car around the Island. They are so innocent and at the same time stupid. Make great sweaters and jumpers and cheese. Still remember one from Donegal, Malinbeg. If you want to meet one go for Farm Holidays. It's another way to experience a close encounter with sheep is to take an Irish Farm Holiday. There are hundreds of such farm holidays available in Ireland.

Celtic symbolsCeltic symbols are exquisite. Celtic symbol meanings are quite hard to explain because there are minimal known surviving written records of indicating specific Celtic symbol meanings. The most famous standing crosses are the Cross of Kells, County Meath, Ireland; Ardboe High Cross, Ardboe, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland; the crosses at Monasterboice, County Louth, Ireland; and the Cross of the Scriptures, Clonmacnoise, Ireland. The Celtic cross is often made of stone.
