Shot against the back drop of the unique natural beauty and culture of the West of Ireland, over the course of six half hour episodes we follow the lives of families and individuals who have moved or are in the process of moving to the west of Ireland. From various parts of Ireland and from more far flung places such as Australia, Texas and Austria, presenter Mary Kennedy meets the people in their new homes and explores the reasons why they made the decision to make a major life change and "Move West".
