VHS/NTSC. Questar Video. Shades of emerald softly blend into hues of jade and olive throughout this lovely land. From its misted hillsides and lonely moors, to its forests of stately oak and stands of evergreen yew, all Ireland seems steeped in this lovely color that's synonymous with life itself. Nowhere is this green feast for the eyes more apparent than in these five national parks of Ireland: Killarney, Wicklow Mountains, Connemara, Glenveagh, and Burren. These protected parklands embrace glaciated lakes, fog-wreathed mountains, stone-ringed shorelines and mist-shrouded heaths. Stunning film footage of this storied land captures Ireland's sweeping countryside jeweled with the morning dew or whispering beneath the soft rains of early evening. Wild and beautiful creatures roam the sheltered confines of the parks, wandering beside abbeys and castles, ancient ruins and homesteads. Merlin and Peregrine falcons hunt; feral goats, red deer and Connemara ponies graze, while foxes browse beside lakebeds alive with otters. From the lowlands to the mountainsides - from limestone reefs to boggy fields of peat - visit these Irish parklands and experience the green hues of their best natural finery. 65 minutes.

DVD. On Tour. 26 Minutes. The Dingle Peninsula in the southwest of Ireland is well known as one of the country's most scenic locations. It is also a region with a fascinating history and the origin of its villages and farms date back to Early Christian and even prehistoric times. The 1,500 inhabitants of tiny Dingle Town have for generations been closely associated with the sea. Although today's fishing industry is not what it once was, the fishing harbour still plays a vital role in the lives of the local people.Due to tourism the pubs of Dingle Town are kept well busy, however, compared with other parts of Ireland tourism here is a far more subdued affair. In Dingle Town in 1984 a dolphin appeared just off the coast and it accompanied the fishing boats into the harbour and indeed it still does and the Dingle Dolphin is now a well known attraction on this part of the coast. The Dunbeg Fort originated in the Bronze Age. Archaeology has shown that it dates back to the 8th century B.C.The magnificent location of the fortress hundreds of metres above the thundering sea and mighty cliffs make the visit to Dunbeg Fort a dramatic adventure. Close to Fahan is a large group of Beehive Huts, ancient circular buildings that date back to the Last Ice Age. According to archaeologists further buildings were erected in early Christian times. Its mysterious prehistoric and early Christian monuments as well as the beauty of its landscape have given the Dingle Peninsula the magic that has rightly made The Emerald Isle famous throughout the world!
