His journey begins at one of the most remote locations in all of the country, a little known ancient ring fort accessible only by rowing boat. The spectacular setting makes him question why Irish folk tales are often so dark "no Lady Godivas or Dick Whittingtons here" he muses. Travelling to Co. Louth, the smallest county in Ireland he uncover the nation's oldest story but in Derry he reveals the origins of one of its newest - now famed around the world. From the Dark Hedges of Stranocum, a natural phenomenon 240 hundred years old to the modern day docks of Belfast he follows the trail of Ireland's biggest international story - 'Game of Thrones' and practices his self-defence skills . Ultimately he discovers that even in death the telling of the most important story of all is that of life. Written by Christopher Bruce See less
