The Coasts of Ireland S01E03 - The Wild West

The western part of the island is wild and primeval. In some places the cliffs rise hundreds of feet above the Atlantic Ocean, such as the imposing Cliffs of Moher, the back country is nearly treeless. County Connemara has enough green hills for Connemara's mysterious wild horses. The people here are firmly rooted in their country and its traditions. Some residents swear by fresh seaweed baths while others love the wayward life on an island 15 kilometres off of the mainland. Hundreds of couples get married each year by Ireland's most successful matchmaker.
