HI, I'M RICK STEVES, DIGGING PEAT IN IRELAND.

EVEN TODAY, SOME OF THIS STUFF KEEPS THE HOME FIRES BURNING

IN A LAND FAMOUS FOR ITS SMILES AND CHARM.

IRELAND WAS NEVER CONQUERED BY THE ROMAN EMPIRE,

DRAGGING THE REST OF EUROPE INTO DARKNESS,

WHILE NICKNAMED THE ISLAND OF SAINTS AND SCHOLARS,

FOR ITS BITTERSWEET MIX OF POLITICAL STRUGGLES,

HUNGER, FRIENDLY PEOPLE AND GORGEOUS LANDSCAPES.

THE FINEST FORMAL GARDEN  ON THIS GARDEN ISLAND,

WE'LL EXPLORE THE ULTIMATE-  IN-ITS-DAY BRITISH FORTRESS,

AS WE'LL BE JOINED BY JACKIE,  ANDY, AND MY WIFE ANNE,

IRELAND IS THE WESTERN-MOST  PART OF EUROPE.

WE'LL VISIT THE MONASTERY  AT GLENDALOUGH

THEN ON TO WATERFORD,  WHERE I'LL JOIN MY FAMILY,

VISIT THE HISTORIC TOWNS  OF COBH AND KINSALE,

AS WE WORK OUR WAY  TO THE RUGGED RING OF KERRY.

HIGH IN THE WICKLOW MOUNTAINS,  YOU'LL SEE VAST PEAT BOGS

WITH FRESHLY CUT PEAT BRICKS  DRYING IN THE WIND.

PEAT WAS IRELAND'S STANDARD  HEATING FUEL FOR CENTURIES.

KIND OF HALFWAY TO COAL, WHICH  IS SLICED OUT OF THESE BOGS,

AND THEN BURNED LIKE PRESTO  LOGS IN FIREPLACES AND STOVES.

FOUR OR FIVE GOOD MEN COULD  CUT ENOUGH PEAT IN A DAY

TO KEEP A FAMILY WARM  THROUGH THE COLD IRISH WINTER.

NOSTALGIC FOR THE SMELL  OF A GOOD TURF FIRE,

STILL COME UP HERE  TO CUT THEIR OWN FUEL.

THE WICKLOW MOUNTAINS, WHILE ONLY TEN MILES SOUTH OF DUBLIN,

FEEL REMOTE, REMOTE ENOUGH  TO HAVE BEEN A HANDY REFUGE

200 YEARS AGO,  WHEN THE FRUSTRATED BRITISH

BUILT THIS MILITARY ROAD  TO FLUSH OUT THOSE REBELS,

THROUGH SOME OF IRELAND'S  RICHEST SCENERY.

MY FRIEND AND LOCAL GUIDE  DENNIS O'REILLY,

IS JOINING US AS WE EXPLORE  THE WICKLOW MOUNTAINS.

GLENDALOUGH, WHICH MEANS  VALLEY OF THE TWO LAKES,

HIDES IRELAND'S MOST IMPRESSIVE  MONASTIC SETTLEMENT.

THIS IS ST. KEVIN'S CHURCH, A BEAUTIFUL STRUCTURE.

AND HE LIVED BY THE UPPER LAKE IN A CAVE.

AND THE MONASTERY  ST. KEVIN FOUNDED FLOURISHED

DESPITE REPEATED VIKINGS RAIDS  THROUGHOUT MEDIEVAL TIMES.

A THOUSAND YEARS AGO, IN AN IRELAND WITHOUT CITIES,

MONASTIC COMMUNITIES LIKE THIS ONE HERE AT GLENDALOUGH

AND PROVIDED A FOUNDATION FOR RURAL IRISH SOCIETY.

TODAY, IRELAND IS DOTTED WITH EVOCATIVE REMINDERS

WAS WHEN THE REST OF EUROPE WAS IN THE DARK AGES

MAKING THE MANUSCRIPTS THAT WE HAVE NOW IN OUR MUSEUMS.

WHILE IT WAS LATER  ABANDONED AND RUINED,

THIS MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING  TO DO WITH THE FACT

THAT THE POPE SAID  SEVEN VISITS TO GLENDALOUGH

HAD THE SAME INDULGENCE VALUE  AS ONE VISIT TO ROME.

THEY FUNCTIONED AS BEACONS  FOR PILGRIMS, BELL TOWERS,

AND PLACES OF FINAL REFUGE  WHEN VIKINGS CAME A-KNOCKIN'.

JUST A FEW MILES  FROM ALL THIS RUGGED BEAUTY

ARE THE METICULOUSLY KEPT  GARDENS OF POWERSCOURT,

WITH MUCH OF IT CREATED  DURING THE VICTORIAN ERA,

THE MID-1800s, THE GARDENS  OF POWERSCOURT ARE CALLED

THE GRAND FINALE OF EUROPE'S  FORMAL GARDENING TRADITION,

PROBABLY THE LAST GREAT GARDEN  OF ITS SIZE AND QUALITY

THE VISCOUNTS OF POWERSCOURT  DEVELOPED THIS GARDEN.

THE STATUARY WAS COLLECTED FROM PALACES THROUGHOUT EUROPE.

A FLYER LAYS OUT A GOOD WALK  FOR VISITORS.

WITH THE DRAMATIC SUMMIT OF  THE GREAT SUGAR LOAF MOUNTAIN

THIS GARDEN IS A WELL-WATERED  ARISTOCRATIC FANTASY.

IT CLAIMS TO BE THE OLDEST  CITY IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY.
