Ireland is a small island surrounded by three seas in the North Atlantic. Its total coastline of 1,448 kilometers is separated from Great Britain in the east by the Irish Sea. To the south, the Celtic Sea lies between Ireland and the European mainland, while the rugged coastline to the west meets the roaring waves of the North Atlantic.
When it comes to Ireland's landscapes, you always hear about '40 Shades of Green' - 40 different shades of green. But there is some truth behind the cliché. Ireland is really VERY green. But that's not all.
