Ancient woodlands are very rare in Ireland. By ancient woodland in Ireland we mean woodland that has been continuously forested since 1660, this date is shortly after the Cromwellian land confiscations of the seventeenth century and several surveys carried out around the 1650s would have identified land ownership and land use.

Dublin's River Liffey, like many urban waterways, is often best seen at night with its colourfully-lit buildings and reflections.

Appropriately enough, this image of Glencar Waterfall really stood out.
