When you dream of Ireland, it's quite possible you're picturing a photo taken by one of Ireland's most prolific landscape photographers, Chris Hill. Chris is responsible for a spectacular range of images of the cliffs, coastlines, lakes and mountains, showing this breathtaking island at its most beautiful. A native of Belfast, Northern Ireland, Chris took a trip to Connemara in County Galway at just 16 years old and fell in love with "the wilder side of Ireland. It blew my mind."


Glenariff, County Antrim
Antrim's nine glens make for some spectacular natural sights, but it's Glenariff which is known as Queen of the Glens. The wilderness and fairytale beauty of Glenariff Forest Park make it a must-see, according to Chris: "In May, the hills are awash with bluebells, and the waterfalls never fail to inspire."


Boyeeghter Bay, County Donegal
Donegal holds a special place in Chris's heart; he owns a home there and is delighted at the number of people discovering this stunning county via the coastal routes of the Wild Atlantic Way. This secluded beach at Boyeeghter Bay, otherwise known as The Murder Hole, is a favourite on the coast of Ireland: "I've had to pass by a herd of cows to get to it, but it's worth it," he says.
