Adrian Dunbar’s Coastal Ireland

Adrian visits monastic ruins on the Skellig Islands and a prehistoric fort on the Aran Islands before going to a Donegal beach and honoring WB Yates in County Sligo.

In Northern Ireland, Adrian visits the legendary Giant’s Causeway, tours Mount Stewart’s magnificent gardens, and sees the Mourne Mountains, the inspiration for Narnia.

Adrian"s journey starts at Slieve League on the wild Atlantic coast in County Donegal. He tours the enchanting landscape of Glenveagh National Park before heading to his hometown in County Fermanagh, one third of which is covered by rivers. After reliving cherished childhood memories, he"s put to work at an oyster farm in Carlingford and ends at Newgrange, an awe-inspiring Neolithic passage tomb.

Chef Tom Kerridge shows Adrian around his 18th-century estate set among 100 stunning acres, before preparing a feast using ingredients picked on the grounds. Afterwards, Adrian heads to Howth to meet artist Jim Fitzpatrick, who created the iconic two-tone portrait of Che Guevara. Then a scenic rail journey along the coast takes him to Powerscourt and the medieval monastic site at Glendalough.
