Bog Butter in Carrickmore, Blossoms in Armagh and Red Squirrels in the Heart of Down

Your Place and Mine

Available for 29 days

A Tyrone farmer has unearthed a large slab of ancient bog butter on his land, apple-growing traditions are blossoming anew in Ardress, and the red squirrels are thriving in Ballyness. Primary school children in Derry turn local myths into striking oak tree artwork, Armagh welcomes the Celtic summer with live traditional music and the magic of Bealtaine, and farmers in Glenarm are ploughing new furrows to tackle rural isolation and bring communities together. Presented by Eve Blair.
