Subject: RE: Irish Mudcatters?
heading south from Belfast.. the whole of the Ard Peninsula is lovely .... my favourite bit is Nendrum Monastic site... follow signs from just outside Comber....... the Mourne Mountains are worth a look and the road from Hilltown to Carnlough has some fantastic views....

The Ulster Folk and Transport Museum outside Belfast is well done.....

it is years since I have been to the Ulster American one at Gortin near Omagh... but it was always good... there is another one close by it... which does Ireland through the ages... from Stone Age right through... with dolmens and round towers etc... unfortunately they didn't put enough thought into it....... obvious power points and fire extinguishers.... which I'm sure the monks didn't have away back then......
