St. Patrick for the day that's in it, as they say!

Beneath our feet and all around us here in Ireland, there is a wealth of stories of an ancient past. Our place names hold an insight into a world of Goddesses and Heroes, battles, and descriptions of amazing land and seascapes. In a country where our old Irish names have been changed beyond recognition, this podcasts goes beneath, to the true meanings and tell the tales of where we live. Our aim is that the listener, no matter where they live, will open their eyes and question and learn the stories behind their own place names.
