Presenters Mark Thompson and Lolly Spence pick up their journey in Tyrone’s Gortin Glen Forest Park.

Mark pays a visit to Ulster American Folk Park in Omagh for its annual bluegrass festival, while at Lough Eske – gateway to Donegal’s rugged Bluestack Mountains – Lolly hears the story of Frances Browne, the ‘blind poetess of Ulster’.

In the Irish-speaking heartland of Glencolmcille, Mark explores the unique Donegal fiddling style with acclaimed violinist Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh.

Mark and Lolly complete their Ulster odyssey at Bunglas Point in South Donegal, with breathtaking views over Slieve League.
