SBS - The Coasts of Ireland (2014) Part 2 The Irish Riviera

The Coasts Of Ireland

Beautiful landscapes, living tradition and welcoming people - this is Ireland. One thousand miles of impressive cliffs, natural beauty and long-living traditions. The massive waters of the Atlantic thunderously surge against the rocks of the Irish coast - the cliffs being amongst the highest in Europe. Take a journey around this green island, and through numerous encounters with typical and atypical islanders, also get to know Ireland from the perspective of the Irish and discover how well the Irish integrate their ancestry into modern day living. This five-part series portrays the wide variety of landscapes and culture, from the traditional pubs in Dublin to the philanthropic dolphin of Dingle, from the intelligent Connemara horses and Rathlin's sailboat carvers to the sorely afflicted city of Belfast.

Part 2 The Irish Riviera

In the south of Ireland the landscape is anything but harsh medieval castles surrounded by lush forests, quaint fishing villages and exotic gardens. The warm Gulf Stream creates an almost Mediterranean atmosphere. Plants from around the world thrive and make for vibrant gardens such as Phemie Roses'. Every day the passionate gardener tries to improve her garden even more. The region has become a haven for people who have fulfilled their dream of a simple but happy life - be it as a dedicated gardener such as Phemie, as a tourist guide for a famous castle or as a recluse on a deserted island.
