Episode 11
Barra Best ventures into beautiful landscapes in search of wild species, meets some unusual ones on the way, and joins people making the most of our great outdoors.
Barra starts off at Murlough National Nature Reserve near Dundrum, where he meets ranger Barry Crawford. The dunes here are rich in wildlife, but it鈥檚 a group of Exmoor ponies that keeps them in top condition by cropping the grass short.
Barra travels to Castlewellan Forest Park, where his fitness is put to the test on an uphill cycle. Then it's on to Greenore, on the shores of Carlingford Lough, to monitor a bottlenose dolphin.
Barra then heads along to Carlingford to meet oyster farmer Kian Louet-Feisser, and to work on the oyster beds. Finally, he goes to the Ring of Gullion, where he meets Ca贸ilf铆onn Murphy O'Hanlon, an artist passionate about celebrating and protecting our only native goat, the Old Irish.
