Before being cast in Derry Girls Irish actress Siobhan McSweeney had never set foot in Northern Ireland. After falling in love with the landscape, she now wants to explore more of the lakes, mountains, coastline and forests.
Siobhan follows the footsteps of pilgrims along Saint Patrick's Way, comes face to face with some vicious Vikings, gets a bird's eye view of stunning Strangford Lough and reveals her artistic side with acclaimed artist Colin Davidson. She also samples regency life in an 18th-century mansion, and, in Belfast, conquers her fear of heights at one of the city's iconic landmarks.
Siobhán's awestruck by the beauty of the Mourne Mountains and meets a fascinating moth expert in Murlough Bay. She has an astronomical time at the Armagh Planetarium and encounters masked mummers.
Siobhán explores a geopark's caves, steps closer to heaven on the Cuilcagh Mountain Boardwalk and discovers the Lough Erne monuments.
Siobhán concludes her exploration on the Causeway Coast, where she tries an ancient sport and revels in Rathlin's Island birdlife.
