Ireland鈥檚 Highest Passage Tomb
Slieve
Gullion in South Armagh is an incredible natural beauty spot, but there鈥檚 a lot more going on than just a good view. Anne-Marie meets archaeologist
Vanessa Ryan and geologist Siobhan Power to go on a journey to the passage tomb
which is located at the top of the mountain 鈥� all 1800 feet of it!
The Leprechaun Protection Area
Ireland
has long been known as a land of leprechauns, but Slieve Foy in Carlingford has
been designated as a Special Protection Area for the Little People. Cooley
Peninsula Tourism Officer Frances Taylor tells us about a special search for
leprechauns on Mother鈥檚 Day.
Hughie & George at Blessingbourne
Hughie McMahon is 95, and his friend George McKenzie is 94 - they both grew up on the outskirts of Fivemiletown in Co Tyrone and nearby Blessingbourne estate was a playground to them. Conor McKay hears their memories as they meet for the first time in 50 years, and George reveals how learning to swim in Blessingbourne lake saved his life at Dunkirk.
Llamas, Emus, and Wallabies in Dungannon
Dungannon
might not seem like the most likely place to find exotic animals, but if you
make your way to Annaginny Farm in Newmills, you might meet Alan Abraham, who
has gathered together an incredible collection of animals from all over the
world.
