8. Castles of Britain

Britain is strewn with ruins of castles, rubble from the centuries of her existence. Castles are tangible relics of a remarkable past, a lengthy heritage etched in stone, as well as with the blood and sweat of those who built, labored, fought, and died in their shadow. Ruins stir up in us a profound awareness of those past lives. Castles have a timelessness that is awe-inspiring. That they have endured centuries of warfare and the effects of weather is a testimony to the creativity and power of their medieval owners. How many of us will have such long-lasting success?

10. Glen Colm-CilleF

Glen Folk Village was the brainchild of Fr McDyer who was transferred to Glencolmcille in 1951. He recognised immediately that the area suffered form lack of employment and emigration. During the past 70 years, the area had lost 60% of its population due to the root causes of poor land, distance to any major centre and lack of industry. Fr McDyer dtermined to do whatever he could to break this cycle. Building the Folk Village Museum was the start. This was an usual thing to do in Ireland at the time since even famous landmarks are often ignored in some field someplace. The Irish are getting a little better at preserving their heritage now.

11. Isle of Iona

Iona became known as the "holy island" where several kings from Scotland, Ireland and Norway chose to be buried. St Colm-Cille was banished from Ireland in 563 so he and 12 companions set up a monastery on the Isle of Iona. From there, they proceded to convert pagan Scotland and the northern part of England to Christianity. At present, the monastery is an ecumenical centre which very active in Christian education, liturgy and outreach.

12. Newfoundland and Labrador

Newfoundland and Labrador on Canada's east coast is an adventurers paradise. It appears to be a great place to get away from it all although that could be threatened sometime in the future by the booming oil business there. Having been a "have not area" forever, it's about time that good fortune arrived. The first settlers, besides the native Indian population, were Irish peasants who hid behind trees when it was time for the fishing boats to go home to England.
