A History of Ireland's Last Great Wilderness

  • Resumen

  • Vast, windswept, and seemingly untouched—the landscape around the Sally Gap in Wicklow is a place where history appears to vanish into the heather and mist. With no houses and few traces of human settlement, this moorland feels like a true wilderness.


    Yet, the story of this landscape is one forged by ancient forces, human ambition, and exploitation.


    In this episode, I continue my journey down the Wicklow Military Road into what some have called one of Ireland’s last great wildernesses, uncovering a hidden history that stretches back thousands of years.


    Written, Produced & Narrated by Fin Dwyer


    Sound by Kate Dunlea


    Featuring: Frank Tracy, Deirdre Burns, Faith Wilson, Michael Fewer, Graeme Warren & Margaret Duff Garvey.
