Wild Ireland

Never been!

It's rather sad when dolphins lose their 'pod' isn't it, they are sometimes expelled from it and are unhappy being alone so seek company.
The vast sea and scenery with no human in sight is sometimes appealing to the senses,even if ( like the dolphin) we can't live like that forever.
I have Irish ancestry, have bever been, and this programme has made me resolve to visit.

We went out on a boat once on the Dingle peninsula. There is a dolphin that lives in the bay, Fungi I think he is called. I'm not sure if he's still alive but we got on the boat and they revved up the engines when we were out in the bay and sure enough the dolphin appeared and swam alongside the boat, leaping out of the water every so often. It was wonderful. They said they would give us our money back it he didn't appear!

I thought it was lovely, really enjoyed it and have been googling all about the islands with DGS this morning. Looking forward to the next episode.

I'm visiting Ireland soon for the first time ever and am looking forward to it very much, even more so now after this lovely tv programme. My eldest grandchild lives there now and I am going to stay with her for three weeks.

Ireland is wonderful, my family are from there. I can't wait to go back this summer

I enjoyed this lovely programme and it made me wonder why I'd never been there. So many places I could say that about! Weren't those humpback whales spectacular!

They used the monestary on Skellig Michael as a set at the end of the last Star Wars film. I wondered at the time whether they helicoptered the stars to the top but made an extra climb all those steps!

Yes, it's certainly a marvellous programme for encouraging tourists to visit, and I now want to go there.The presenter was good, quiet, informative and with no annoying quirks, no flinging arms around or over the top presentation, it wasn't 'all about him' it was the place and the wildlife.Wonderful.

I watched this and was mesmerised by the sumptuous photography. I too would have liked to have known a bit more about the geography and less about the wild life, but I can't take anything away from the programme or the presenter. We've visited Kerry, Cork and the Dingle peninsula a couple of times but I would love to go to Donegal. My cousin lives at Malin Head and I know from him how beautiful it is. Must make a real effort to go there.

This makes me realise how lucky I am. I'm two hours drive to the Wild Atlantic Way featured on Wild Ireland and last month spent the weekend in Donegal.

I would like to have heard a bit more information about the settlements, the monks, history etc.
But I suppose it is primarily a wildlife programme.

He has one of those voices to lull you off to sleep
As a friend used to say 'Another lovely programme to fall asleep in front of'.

Agreed. I loved the puffins and the remote rock that had had a monastery built on it.
