How colorful is Irish winter

?

Let Clover Jun take you to find out.

Ireland is not too cold to enjoy outdoor activities in winter, because Ireland is located at the high latitude in the northern hemisphere. In winter, the position of the sun in the sky is low. On a clear winter day, the sun always seems to send warm and soft light to your side.

Walking towards the sun on the cliff top of Akil Island on the wild Atlantic road, the haze in my heart slowly fades away. Explore Northern Ireland along the causeway coast, and the magnificent scenery will invigorate your winter.

In winter, some places in Emerald Island will become more charming.

The dark hedge has a new look, and the soft warm light passes through the branches, fading away the dark wind of "King's Avenue" and turning into a gentle hometown in winter. Overlooking the Cropatrick Mountain in Mayo County, it is connected with the blue sky and white clouds, and it has such a beautiful view in winter.

All the way to the south, I came to the Bella Peninsula in Cork County. The rugged landform was even more magnificent in the collision between the roaring sea breeze and the waves.

Let the dream of chasing light come true in Ireland! November to February is the beautiful aurora season in Ireland.

In Ireland, besides the colorful aurora hanging in the night sky, you can also see the unique scenery and the wonderful scene where the aurora interweaves with each other.

The giant dike under the aurora shows a charming luster like a gem. When the Stroeve Lighthouse ushered in the aurora, the light of the lighthouse matched the sky.

In addition to unforgettable beauty to warm the heart, food and wine to warm the stomach are also essential.

Enjoy some traditional Irish dishes in winter, such as a rich bowl of Irish stew, which makes people feel warm from the inside out. Irish stew is a delicious food cooked by every household, just like every mother's specialty stew in China. Although the ingredients are different, it is the warmest taste in winter.

Or have a cup of Irish coffee with the aroma of milk, coffee and whiskey barley. Cold cream collides with hot coffee, and whiskey reaches all parts of the body along the coffee, warming every inch of skin.

When it comes to wine, Irish whiskey is indispensable for warm-up drinks in winter. As the birthplace, Ireland's unique single pot distillation and triple distillation produced soft and pure whisky. Drink whiskey with cloves, honey, sugar and lemon. It is said that this combination is a special drink for driving away cold and keeping warm in winter!

The Old Bush Mills Brewery in Northern Ireland has been brewing the top whisky in Ireland for centuries. Here, you can not only visit the history of whisky, but also taste its mellow fragrance.

Every winter solstice, the days are short and the nights are long, which is of great significance to Irish people. The tomb of New Granci in Mizpah is considered to be a monument in the Neolithic Age about 5, years ago, and it is the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancient Irish people. At that time, people believed in the sun's ingenious design, and every winter solstice morning, the sun would be introduced from the "window" above the entrance and illuminated into the interior of the monument.

If you still want to feel the ancient "magic", the Beamore Stone Circle in Tyrone County, Northern Ireland can also take you into the "magic world".

the bimore stone circle consists of seven stone circles, which were discovered in peat mining in the last century and can be traced back to 15 BC. Some stones are thought to be related to the sunrise of the winter solstice. Some people suspect that they are placed regularly, perhaps because people living at that time tried to attract sunlight to restore the fertility of the land.

Although the winter in Ireland is covered with twilight at four or five in the afternoon, it means more nightlife, more time to enjoy dinner with family members, or to have a drink with good friends in the warm music in the bar.

When you open the door of a bar in Dublin, you can feel the hilarity of Irish bars and the enthusiasm of Irish people. It will be a warm and unforgettable winter night if you integrate yourself into it.

The nightlife in Belfast will never let you down. Crown Bar, a century-old shop built in the 198s, completely retains the interior decoration of Victorian style and Baroque style, and enjoys this retro-styled night.

Want to add some mood to this wine night? Then go to the live music bar! The Wandering Herdsmen's Bar in Cork regularly gathers local musicians and singers. They will exchange and share music, and perhaps a good Irish folk song will be born.

From Enya to U2, cranberries, and then to Westlife, countless Irish musicians have been born. O'Donoghue Bar is famous for The Dublin, a famous Irish folk band. The band performed in this bar in its early days, which can be said to be the birthplace of the band.

The air in winter is filled with festive atmosphere. The Waterford Winter Celebration has turned this Victoria City into a winter wonderland with shining stars. Delicious food, various celebrations and live performances gradually pushed the festive atmosphere to a climax.
