The Giant’s Grave in County Offaly is thought to be the resting place of Ireland’s mythical warrior and chieftain Bladhma.

Doireann is with esteemed journalist Fiona Mitchell in her native Offaly to explore the ancient lore and natural beauty of the Giant’s Grave Loop.

Nestled in the Slieve Bloom Mountains, this approx 11km loop weaves through forest trails and open mountain paths, offering wide vistas and a clear connection to the region’s ancient history.

Did you know the Slieve Bloom Mountains are the oldest in Europe, having formed some 400 million years ago?

C.S. Lewis is a famous son of County Down and former BBC Political Editor Mark Devenport says with a smile that the great C.S. Lewis "was the County Down man that went to Oxford and I'm the Oxford man that went to County Down." We think you made a wonderful choice Mark!

Join this Friday night at 8pm on as she joins Mark Devenport on a scenic 12km stretch of the North Down Coastal Path, from Cultra to Bangor Marina.

Here at Tracks and Trails we are deeply saddened to hear of the death of Tommie Gorman.
Tommie recently presented an episode of Tracks & Trails in Tipperary and brought his vast knowledge and experience to the show. But it was his kindness and good humour that made the crew feel particularly lucky to have worked with him.
We want to extend our heartfelt sympathies to Tommie’s family.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis.
Thank you Tommie.
