Review:
Northern Ireland is a beautiful United Kingdom region, established as a separate country from the Republic of Ireland after the passing of the 1998 Northern Ireland Act. The scenic country is home to some of the United Kingdom's loveliest historic attractions, including preserved Norman castles and Celtic monuments dating back nearly a millennia. In capital city Belfast, visitors can explore attractions related to the construction of the famed RMS Titanic, noted for its dramatic 1912 sinking en route to New York. Derry is famed for its 16th-century stone walls, the only intact city walls in Ireland today. Natural wonders of Northern Ireland include the cliffs of the Giant's Causeway UNESCO World Heritage Site and the lovely Marble Arch Caves, one of northern Europe's largest geoparks. Picturesque coastal resort towns like Bangor are noted for their lovely shopping districts and restaurants serving up traditional meals like bangers and mash.
