Celt BeltCeltic belt, also known as the Celtic Fringe, the Celt belt refers to a geographical area on the western and northern fringes of Europe, mainly the British Isles, but also including Brittany. In these remote areas the indigenous population was exposed to a lesser extent to the waves of foreign invasions suffered by the UK over the centuries, and Celtic traditions and genes have largely survived to this date. One definition takes in only those areas in which Celtic languages are still spoken, but another broader one takes in Brittany and the non-English parts of the British isles. An example of this is the film, The Wicker Man, which is about the alien and insular culture practiced in a Celtic-inspired enclave.
