Calm Country Beauty: They are found, in addition to Kenmare, in Killarney, Galway, Mulrany and even in northerly Sligo. The Dunraven Arms, in Adare (page Robin!), needs mention for its calm country beauty (and its 18-hole golf course); the Tearmann Hotel, at Tearmann Feichin, near Drogheda, for its distinctive broad-lawn charm and its convenience to Dublin; and the Royal Spa Hotel, in Lisdoonvarna, for its famous cuisine.
Two National Parks are of great interest. One is the park surrounding the sixteen Lakes of Plitvice, near Vrhovina, in Croatia. The lakes are on terraced ground, one above the other, connected by foaming cascades. On a beach of Lake Kozjak, which is in the middle of the sixteen, is a comfortable hotel, the Plitvice. The whole park is a blend of wild beauty and forested calm. The National Park Trsteno, with venerable plane trees and splendid tropical groves, is near Dubrovnik.
Industrial and Urban Britain. Pictures of the lush beauty of England with its rich meadows, its meandering rivers, and its cattle standing knee-deep in pastures under the great elms, or of the lonely lochs and heather-covered hills of Scotland, should not Blind people to the fact that Britain is one of the great industrial countries of the world. An industrial country must, of course, be an urban country; every other man in Britain is a big-city man, and the British way of life is increasingly urban or suburban. |
