Irish Waterways - 2/6 - Christian Crossing

1993 TV series by Dick Warner. No copyright infringement intended.
From Ballinasloe to Drumshanbo part 2: "Christian Crossing"
Farther north, along a Viking trail, we journey through the ancient town of Athlone to Lough Ree and Hare Island. This isolated, native woodland, home to the Rosa Agretis, one of the rarest of Irish Roses, for centuries hid the largest hoard of Viking gold ever found in Europe.

We need another one of these productions.What a narrator and sadly missed "both these men".

From my research there were 24 episodes in total for multiple series. This is from the second series. The only DVD I saw listed was an Australian release.

Watched the series when first released onto UK tv then watched it on RUclips and the last series recently on the Royal.
Dick was unique in his view of Water and Ireland and its connections with Religion Vikings Technology Trade.
He has a massive knowledge of Irish Waterways
