The Celtic Planet – linking Celts around the world
Hello, and a warm welcome from David James and Christina Brundage to
our new website at www.thecelticplanet.com
The intention of this site is to present an enjoyable forum for Celtic
enthusiasts of all ages and nationalities around the globe. In the
troubled times that the world is passing through, we hope that The
Celtic Planet will provide a place of positivity, inspiration, and
useful information for folk worldwide with similar Celtic interests.

worldwide audience your individual artwork, crafts, jewellery, books,
CDs, and any other creative business that you would like others to

There is a section where you can advertise holiday accommodation and
retreats in the Celtic Countries or elsewhere.
