Publisher's Synopsis
The distinctive landscape which makes up the Ring of Gullion in South Armagh has rich associations with Irish myths and legends and this is expressed in local literature, folk history and art. Its designation as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty gives recognition of the national importance of the Ring and highlights the need for conservation to ensure that this natural asset can continue to be enjoyed by many. This book describes the region, its people and history and outlines a programme of action to maintain effective conservation to benefit both the environment and the community.
