Discover Fermanagh
It’s a special weekend in Co. Fermanagh, as all this weekend, you can come along to 18 of the countys finest attractions – for free! Marketing Manager at Fermanagh Lakeland Tourism, Tanya Cathcart joins  Anne Marie on the show to chat about where to go and what to do for visitors and locals alike.
RSPB
Sticking with Fermanagh, the RSPB have a fair few reserves there - the latest of which, they took over just last year - good for curlew, lapwing, snipe - waders. Just on the outskirts of Enniskillen, on the Shore Road - they've got big plans for this unique wetland.
Flowerfield
A once empty old house in Portrush, Flowerfield, now an Arts Centre, was built as a grand victorian residence in 1855 and has had a long and illustrious existence since then. Anne Marie has been along to find out more about the history and life of the building.
Pine Martens
They live in trees, have red hair, a sweet tooth and cheeky faces… Pine Martens are slinky carnivores, and until recently, were thought to live only in the west of Northern Ireland. But now - a Queen's University survey found them in every county here. So, a group of pupils from St Pius' in Magherafelt, taking part in the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú's School Report project decided to investigate..
Castlewellan Forest Park
One of Northern Ireland's most famous lakes, Castlewellan Forest Park has been a great place to try things out over the years... And now it’s time to get on your bike -  with a mountain biking fun introduction day at the Life Adventure Centre, Castlewellan Forest Park.
National Trust
121 years ago, three people agreed that open spaces were important and should be looked after… which is what the National Trust has been doing ever since. Next week (Saturday March 12th) their properties including Mount Stewart, Castle Ward, Rowallane, Giants Causeway, Carrick-A-Rede, The Argory, Downhill, Portstewart Strand and White Park Bay – are all open for the public to discover.
