Northern Ireland is one of the four countries of the United Kingdom. It is situated in the north-eastern part of the island of Ireland. The country is washed by the North Channel and by the Irish Sea. The population of Northern Ireland is about 1.7 million people.
Northern Ireland has developed its own culture. There are lots of theatres and cinemas in the country. There are two national museums: the Ulster Museum in Belfast, which houses a collection of Irish antiquities and the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum. The Ulster Symphony Orchestra is among the leading orchestras of Britain. But If I had a chance to visit Northern Ireland, I would like to begin my trip with seeing horsemanship. I like horses very much. Besides I would like to visit some music festivals because I am fond of music and Ireland is famous for its music and dances. They are on my list of likes.
