The Drumlin Belt extends from North Down to Sligo, coast to coast, creating a natural historical barrier for the northern section of the island. The drumlins were formed of sediment dropped during the retreating ice age approx 10, 000 years ago, creating countless teardrop shaped hills and lakes left over from the melting ice. Covered by forest through most of history these endless hills meant the north was the last section of the island to be colonised, which in turn allowed a lot of its pre modern and ancient history to survive amazingly intact. Its unique undulating geography means it is worth seeing for this alone.
