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

Ardal’s journey begins on Rathlin Island in the far north, famous for its countless seabirds and, unique to the island, the golden hare. Ardal learns how an astonishing archaeological find has rewritten Irish history, and he tastes some noodles made from kelp, 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 sees how farming practices are being fashioned to encourage the endangered corncrake.

From Tory, Ardal heads to Arranmore, the largest island in the north. He learns how the islanders are encouraging new residents.
