Episode 3
Ardal ends his journey travelling from Garnish Island to the tip of Cape Clear. The scenery and sea life attract artists as well as naturalists, but there鈥檚 a turbulent history.
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鈥檚 at sea once more, being introduced to a playful pod of dolphins. A local historian tells us of the island鈥檚 pirate past, and a resident artist reveals its current status as a painters鈥� paradise.
A short hop takes Ardal to Cape Clear, Ireland鈥檚 southernmost island, where he鈥檚 taken on a tour in one of the island鈥檚 electric buses. He鈥檚 introduced to some remarkable standing stones and a gin distillery that uses foraged kelp. The island鈥檚 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.
