The buildings that we don't know about, the History that didn't feature in our School books. Irish history, local history, the people, the places, the stories.Whispering their stories as we walk amongst what was and now what isn't. From battlefields, to Castles, Forts to Island Prisons, Famine Graves to forgotten cottages. When have you really looked off the beaten path at the history that emanates from our surroundings. The places that don't feature on a tourist map, those places you stumble upon when out for a walk. What, why, who and where answered in each episode.
