Description

David's third A to Z guide to the Northern Ireland coastline finds him travelling the entire length of the coast from Derry/Londonderry all the way to Newry, following in the footsteps of the Rev. Canon Hugh Forde who published Round the Coast of Northern Ireland in 1928. In "Round the Hidden Coast of Northern Ireland From A to Z" David Leslie returns to the land of his previous two books. This time David takes an orderly route around the entire coastline revisiting many of Forde's selections and supplementing this new guide with several of his own choices.Why "Hidden"?David has tried to pick out locations, people, stories and events that may have otherwise escaped the attention of the general public. There's a wart well, a dolmen not marked on maps, a once-famous honey industry, an organ powered by water, a top secret legacy from the Cold War, an award-winning viewpoint, a beach that can sing and a headland that sighs, a cabin lit by love and sunshine, a courthouse building that left one county for another, an ancient monument in a front garden, a tombolo, a disabled rocking stone, the story of the Belfast Bap, a deadly duel, a witchcraft trial, a secret garden, a narrow escape for a teenager, a cemetery without any bodies, a lost kingdom, a wood-working widow, a nineteenth century massacre, a costly error on the world's biggest ocean liner, an evergreen oak tree, a forgotten poet, a strangely-tolling bell, a boulder that flew with the flick of a finger and a squeeze gut and that's not all.The result is a book that tours the length of Northern Ireland's coast offering around a hundred or so destinations, many of which don't usually get a mention in the tourist guides.Also available from David Leslie: The Antrim Coast From A to ZThe Coasts of Down and Derry From A to Z
