Manchán Magan providing a fresh connection with Ireland’s natural heritage

Manchán Magan is in the midst of a new radio series that taps into the weird and wonderful aspects of Ireland’s natural heritage, writes Jonathan deBurca Butler.

IRELAND’s annual Heritage Week is upon us. This year’s theme, ‘It’s in Your Nature’, is all about discovering and reconnecting with our natural heritage and exploring how the natural world around us has shaped our culture.

To mark the occasion, RTÉ Radio 1 commissioned a five-part series with writer, documentary maker and travel expert Manchán Magan.
