Description

Joe Mahon hops over the border to the coastal parish in the southwestetern corner of County Donegal, Inishkeel, with a coastline that includes such gems as Rosbeg, Narin and Portnoo. The parish takes its name from the Island of Inishkeel, a sacred place long associated with saints and pilgrimage and where pilgrims travel to this day.

Join Mahon as he gets ferried over to the island where he meets a local guide and learns more about the place and its history. We also get a chance to take part in lobster fishing, visit a local postman and a weather diviner and learn just how much patience and skill is required in some of the local crafts - straw product making and crochet work.

Such unique way of exploring local histories would not be possible without the local people and their wisdom, warmth and wit.
