Wild Ireland

What a lovely programme, stunning photography and an excellent, rather gentle, presenter. I know Ireland quite well and have visited quite a lot of it. I loved the Sheeps' Head Peninsula. Co Cork, which juts out into the Atlantic and gets very wild towards its West end. I'm off to Dublin for a very short visit in the Easter holidays, with DD and her two little ones, staying with my cousin who lives by the sea. Older DD will be keeping an eye on her dad while I'm away. Just keeping fingers crossed I'll actually be able to go. Another programme next week I think? Lovely viewing for a Saturday evening.

The background music to this series is lovely too. I am very fond of traditional Irish music (but it has to be the real deal!).

Just checked and it's being shown again tonight on BBC1 NI at 8pm and part 2 next week, same time.

It was just the best, wasn't it. I was so relaxed after watching it, and I really did not miss any information, just enjoyed the ride.

Hello Craicon are you new, if so, welcome to the forum.
I recorded the programme and have watched it again, last night , with a glass of wine,
I was very chilled out afterwards, marvellous.

Oh, wasn't that just wonderful!

What a wonderful programme and so beautifully filmed. The presenter was so knowledgeable but soothing. I had to look him up on Google afterwards because he really was so good, and I discovered he has made many wildlife programmes. The one about tigers I'd really like to see. I was entranced.

My parents were Irish and I've been over many times but never to this coast. I feel I really want to go and see it for myself. Excellent viewing.

He was so soothing last night I nodded off somewhere between Galway and Malin Head! I'll catch up on the bits I missed, but loved the bits I didn't. Pity there were only fleeting glimpses of Malin Head - it's pretty spectacular; but it was primarily a wildlife programme. Superb photography and a brilliant soundtrack!

I just love this programme, it is so soothing like you say greyduster, and the photography is amazing.

A lovely way to spend an hour on a Friday evening, the end of the week, relax. What beautiful scenery, lucky wild animals.

Was I the only one looking at places to stay?

Well he had a tent by the water's edge!

My cousin sends me the MalinHead community calendar every year and there are ads there for places to stay but I've no experience of any of them because we haven't got round to going yet!

I'm a bit laid up with a broken hip which necessitated a full hip replacement!! At my age I'm lucky to have been able to have this so I'm not complaining but last nights Wild Ireland was just such a joy to watch and cheered me up no end. We must go there for a visit - when I'm mobile!!!!
