What type of geography do you see when you travel through Ireland?
From a tourism point of view Ireland's coastal areas are the most interesting because the coastline is rugged with many peninsulas especially the entire west coast from Cork to Donegal. Every 20 miles or so an entirely new landscape unfolds, and the changes can be quite dramatic.
The centre of the country is flat with many lakes and rivers of which the river Shannon is the largest. The flats are surrounded by hilly regions closer towards the coast. There is very little forest in general, but especially the west of the country can be quite barren which, combined with dramatic Atlantic coast skies makes for spectacular views.
The West coast has many islands which are rugged and exciting places to visit. Some of the most famous ones include the Skelligs and Blaskets in County Kerry, Cape Clear in County Cork, Tory Island in Donegal, Inismurray in County Sligo, and last but not least the Aran Islands in Galway Bay.
The landscape is so varied because the rock underneath is so varied. Along the West coast you have red sandstone, limestone, basalt and granite all with a different geological origin.
