This hour long Nature DVD shows much of the magnificent wildlife and scenery of Ireland. It has beautiful photography and shows many of Ireland's unique landscapes. The PBS Nature series is one of my favorite wildlife shows, and I would like to see more episodes from its more than twenty years of progams become available on DVD. I wish that more footage was added to make this DVD longer. It seems that other related material could have been found in the large archive of films collected over the years by the creators of the Nature series.

This is a beautiful documentary that I enjoyed very much. It does not make any mention of the way in which the Gaelic Tiger, and the sudden affluence of Ireland, has endangered its natural resources, however. Added discussion of this subject would have been the only thing that improved it. I too wish they would have turned it into a three hour film as there's so much to elucidate. Anyway, my two favorite areas they study are the western coast and the mountains of Northern Ireland. The scenery is so pretty that I longed to jump into the screen. I should warn people though that the Guinness Oyster Bay segment made me jones for oysters like never before. They showed close-ups of what they were eating and those crustaceans were of monstrous size. We don't get oysters like that in America--at least, at the places that my wallet allows me to frequent. I loved what I saw here.

After visiting Ireland for the first time this year. I found this DVD to be excellent. Now I want to go back to see all the things we have missed. If you have never been to Ireland you have to go. It is the most beautiful place I have ever visited and the people. The people are the freindliest I have met in all my travels/
