Ardal’s journey begins on Rathlin Island, before taking in Tory and Arranmore. An archaeological find lies in wait, and sustainability proves key for modern island living.

TosaĂ­onn aistear Ardal ar OileĂĄn Reachlainn Ăł thuaidh. TĂĄ iomrĂĄ ar an ĂĄit as lĂ­on na n-Ă©an mara agus as an ghiorria Ăłrga nach bhfuil ar fĂĄil in aon ĂĄit eile in Éirinn. Cluineann Ardal faoin scĂ©al seandĂĄlaĂ­ochta a thug lĂ©argas eile ar stair na tĂ­re seo, agus labhair sĂ© leo siĂșd a bhfuil an fheirmeoireacht inbhuanaithe ceilpe ar siĂșl acu.

Ó Reachlainn, tĂ©ann Ardal chuig OileĂĄn Thoraigh amach Ăł chĂłsta ThĂ­r Chonaill. TĂĄ an traonach i mbaol agus tĂĄ feirmeoirĂ­ an oileĂĄin ag iarraidh dea-chleachtas feirmeoireachta a chur i bhfeidhm lena neartĂș. Ó Thoraigh chuig Árainn MhĂłr, an t-oileĂĄn is mĂł Ăł thuaidh.

Ardal’s journey begins on Rathlin Island in the far north, famous for its countless seabirds and the golden hare, which is unique to the island. Ardal learns how an astonishing archaeological find has rewritten Irish history, and he tastes some noodles made from kelp that is sustainably farmed on the island.

From Rathlin, Ardal travels to remote Tory Island, off the County Donegal coast, where he learns of its musical tradition and its mystical past, and we see how farming practices are being fashioned to encourage the endangered corncrake. From Tory, Ardal heads to Arranmore, the largest island in the north, where he learns how the islanders are encouraging new residents. And on a beautiful, small islet, the threatened little tern has found a welcome sanctuary.
