Off the coast of Ireland, Ardal O'Hanlon unearths the rich history, vibrant wildlife and resilient communities thriving in a realm where the ocean reigns supreme.
Chapter 1: Rathlin, Tory and Arranmore
Ardal's journey begins on Rathlin Island in the far north, famous for its countless seabirds and, unique to the island, the golden hare. Ardal learns how an astonishing archaeological find has rewritten Irish history, and he tastes some noodles made from kelp, sustainably farmed on the island.
From Rathlin, Ardal travels to remote Tory Island off the County Donegal coast, where he learns of its musical tradition and its mystical past, and sees how farming practices are being fashioned to encourage the endangered corncrake.
From Tory, Ardal heads to Arranmore, the largest island in the north. He learns how the islanders are encouraging new residents.
Chapter 2: Aran, Blasket, Valentia and Skellig
From mighty, windswept cliffs to lush, sub-tropical gardens, the islands off the west coast of Ireland are extraordinary in their diversity. On the Aran Islands, Ardal learns from a practising monk of their ancient Christian heritage while, all around, a remarkable range of flora blooms, encouraged by traditional farming methods.
Continuing south, Ardal visits the abandoned Great Blasket Island, former home to Irish author Peig Sayers, now home to a thriving seal colony and two young caretakers. On nearby Valentia Island, Ardal is shown fossilised evidence of early life emerging from the sea, while in the surrounding waters, oyster conservationists are hard at work.
On land, Ireland's only vermouth producers forage for ingredients. The episode ends with a visit to spectacular Skellig Michael, a UNESCO world heritage site that's home to numerous puffins and the world's most dramatic ancient monastery.
Chapter 3: Garnish, Sherkin and Cape Clear
Ardal is in the south of Ireland, where he discovers beautiful Garnish Island, home to gorgeous, lush gardens and the rare white-tailed eagle. By kayak, Ardal sees its thriving seal colony, before heading south to Sherkin Island, where he's at sea once more, being introduced to a playful pod of dolphins. A local historian tells us of the island's pirate past, and a resident artist reveals its current status as a painters' paradise.
A short hop takes Ardal to Cape Clear, Ireland's southernmost island, where he's taken on a tour in one of the island's electric buses. He's introduced to some remarkable standing stones and a gin distillery that uses foraged kelp. The island's resident ornithologist explains the huge importance of the island for migratory birds. A climactic clifftop view, out across the Atlantic, marks the end to a revealing and unforgettable journey.
