Ireland
Video: Full Episode

Although green is its emblematic color, Ireland’s verdant fields are not the nation’s only extraordinary natural features. Sculpted millions of years ago by the advance and retreat of vast shields of ice, the Emerald Isle harbors a wealth of wildlife among its craggy mountains, fog-shrouded coastlines, steep gorges, and vast networks of inland waterways.

I visited Ireland in 1994. It is nice to see a show featuring the beauty of this unique place that the whole family can watch. Thank you.

Hi! I´m writing to you from Spain just to point out that the horse race mentioned at the beginning of your great documentary about Ireland is quite similar to the one held here in Spain, in Sanlucar de Barrameda, in Andalusia. It is run in the mouth of the river Guadalquivir, in a fluvial beach very close to the Athlantic Sea. cheers

to tell you the truth frankly Ireland is really so lovely and it’s worth to visit it to enjoy every sight as it is.

Ya! Deffinately one of the best! I just wish it showed more animals and not show a huge chunk in the middle with people and no animals, cause it made it look kind of weird! Seffinately one of the best though, probably my 4th favorite! I only seen it twice, both times on the computer, never on TV!

Excellent video about Ireland. It makes you wonder about the majestick and never ending beauty of nature. Please do similar one about “Gorongoro Plain” of East Africa.

Very well-presented video and commentary of a mixture of Ireland’s history, geography, biology, agriculture, economy, and archaeology. I enjoyed how the show included all of these themes with a very informative overview at the various locations around the country!
