Слайд 2
Ireland is an island that stretches 486 km from north to south
and 275 km from west to east. From the west it is washed by the Atlantic Ocean, from the east - by the Irish Sea and St George's Channel. On the coast, port cities give way to tiny fishing villages, and picturesque coves with sandy beaches coexist with rugged cliffs towering over the sea.
Слайд 3The weather here changes every half hour: either the sun, or suddenly
the whole sky will be covered with clouds and a downpour falls on the ground. The longer you travel around the country, the more the diversity of the landscape strikes. Lakes, behind them mountains overgrown with forests, then the rushing waters of the Shannon River, the largest waterway in Ireland, and again blue-blue lakes.
Слайд 5Rocks of Moher
One of the main natural attractions of Ireland is the
two-hundred-meter Cliffs of Moher, stretching for 8 kilometers. These majestic rock formations descend steeply towards the Atlantic Ocean, creating the visual sensation of a sheer wall.
Слайд 6Dublin needle
An architectural dominant of Dublin, the Dublin Needle monument is visible,
perhaps, from anywhere in the city. The design is extremely simple - a steel spire rising to a height of 121 meters, gradually tapering.
Слайд 7St. patrick's cathedral
St. Patrick's Cathedral is the largest cathedral not only in
Dublin, but throughout Ireland. Its famous abbot was the writer Jonathan Swift, known all over the world for his work "Gulliver's Travels".
