Description

Part of ITV's travelogue series, About Britain, in this programme we find Michael Duffy strolling through the countryside, meeting local people and hearing their stories. His aim, to see the "countryside through the eyes of the people who live the Ulster way". This part of the tour of the Ulster Way takes a closer look at the Glens of Antrim.

There is nowhere quite like the nine glens of Antrim. This part of Northern Ireland is steeped in Celtic history and tradition and its outsdanding beauty is captivating. Meet the locals who live and work off the land and keep the traditional knowledge and crafts alive as they carry on traditions such as weaving, silversmithing and jewellery making.  At the end of a long day exploring remote fairy glens and waterfalls kick back with the locals and enjoy a traditional Irish tune.
