Dr Ruth Freeman travels to County Kilkenny for a show that represents some hidden and lesser explored trails in the county.  

We start in Kilkenny City, known for its Castle and buzzing streets where the River Nore that flows through the city is also the source for a selection of walks, which take you into the countryside within minutes. 

For her second walk Ruth starts out from Graiguenamanagh, the Kilkenny town which sits on the River Barrow.   

On this longer walk which takes her along quiet country roads, across hillsides and through forests before finishing at Woodstock Gardens and Arborteum, Ruth meets local people who live and work in this part of Co.Kilkenny while discovering the history,  natural history and landscapes that have shaped this beautiful county.
