Finally made it to N.Ireland earlier in the year primarily to see the Giant's Causeway. County Antrim was a journey of discovery including visiting Rathlin Island. Later in the year (October) a few days in Pembrokeshire blew me away ... literally. Pentre Ifan - magnificent.
However, the site which gave me an almost mystical experience has to be Cairn Holy, although in saying this I know it is about perception on the day. After a long, grueling journey on the M6, we visited by pure chance the evening we journeyed to Stranraer before catching the ferry to N.I. the next day. I spotted a brown heritage sign and my companion obligingly turned the car round and went back. As we walked uphill along on a woodland track, not knowing what to expect the clouds disappeared and everything became infused with golden, evening sunlight. The site itself was amazing - for anyone who hasn't found it yet, do try.
