Northern Ireland (28x10)

Uitzenddatum: Mrt 06, 2016

Countryfile explores the beauty of Northern Ireland. John Craven finds out about Rathlin Island's growing kelp industry and what it's like living in this rural landscape. Anita Rani meets a farmer who has diversified in an imaginative way - his farm animals are now TV stars. She walks part of The Ulster Way to find out about its passionate creator Wilfred Capper, and the conservation work happening along the route to keep the way open for all. Plus it's a busy time of year on Adam Henson's farm as spring arrives. He's got his hands full checking up on his pregnant goats and cows. Will there be any new arrivals? Handling unpredictable livestock can be dangerous, especially when you have to get as close as farm vets do. Tom Heap investigates whether risk is just an unavoidable part of a vet's job or if more could be done to make farms a safer place to work.
