Happy Birthday Caves
The Marble Arch Caves were formed millions of years ago but it was just 30 years ago that they were open to the public. The world鈥檚 only international Geo Park is at the foothills of Cuilcagh Mountain and is an incredible subterranean world which many people have enjoyed visiting over the past number of years. We hear from Richard Watson who has been there since Day 1 in 1985.
Restoration of historic boathouse
Echlinville House & Estate
Over three centuries ago Dr Robert Echlin, who travelled from Fyfe in Scotland, set up home at the Abbacy in the Upper Ards area & became the Bishop of Down & Connor in 1613. His聽great, great grandson, Charles Echlin bought a two storey property in Rubane in the early 1700s and renamed it the Echlinville House & Estate. Local man Shane Braniff now runs the place. He speaks to Caroline Nolan about how the whiskey side of聽the estate works.
