More than six million visitors come to Ireland every year and most of them head straight for the coast. Only a fraction of them spend time in the interior. Yet the Midlands are the true lifeblood of the Emerald Isle and there is so much to discover.

The first episode is a journey of discovery through the northern midlands of Ireland. With its mountain and lake landscapes, extensive moorlands, impressive historic sites, cultural history, old and new traditions and the open-mindedness of its people, it is the true lifeline of the Emerald Isle.

The second episode leads through the southern midlands of Irelands. This is where the heart of country beats. A largely unknown world of scenic beauty, tradition and Irish joie de vivre opens up here, despite the ever changeable weather.
