Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ to myths and wildlife, an evocative sound portrait of the UK's largest lake, Lough Neagh in Northern Ireland. From 2009.
An evocative sound portrait of the UK's largest lake, Lough Neagh in Northern Ireland.
With a shoreline measuring over 70 miles long, this vast stretch of water is more like a sea than a lake.
Recordings made above and below the waves reveal a moody, stormy, wild and even dangerous place where legends of a buried town, a horse god and three sisters emerge from the shallows.
Meanwhile, smoke-like plumes and huge flocks of birds rise from the surface as the seasons unfold.
Producer: Sarah Blunt
First broadcast on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4 in January 2009.
