Ardal is in the south of Ireland, where he discovers beautiful Garnish Island, home to gorgeous, lush gardens and the rare white-tailed eagle. By kayak, Ardal sees its thriving seal colony, before heading south to Sherkin Island, where he’s at sea once more, being introduced to a playful pod of dolphins. A local historian tells us of the island’s pirate past, and a resident artist reveals its current status as a painters’ paradise.

A short hop takes Ardal to Cape Clear, Ireland’s southernmost island, where he’s taken on a tour in one of the island’s electric buses. He’s introduced to some remarkable standing stones and a gin distillery that uses foraged kelp. The island’s resident ornithologist explains the huge importance of the island for migratory birds. A climactic clifftop view, out across the Atlantic, marks the end to a revealing and unforgettable journey.
