Falls Road, Belfast

Northern Ireland is both British and Irish and at the same time different. It's is part of the United Kingdom. The currency is the pound. Road signs are in miles. Weight is measured in stone. Northern Ireland shares an island and cultural heritage with the Republic of Ireland. It's steeped in tradition. It was mired in religious conflict for 35 years to 1998. Northern Ireland is packed with surprises. It's a land of dramatic landscapes - blue mountains, windswept moors and rugged coastline. It's home to the walled city of Derry and bustling capital of Belfast. It's a place of leprechauns, giants, clans and St. Patrick.
