Location details
This module was shot on a beautiful blue day in Ballintoy in County Antrim, just a few miles away from the Old Bushmills Distillery, which I shouldn't really be plugging on an educational site, but Bushmills is fine old Irish whiskey and the Distillery museum is well worth a visit...
The second half of the module was shot at the Giant's Causeway, for no great reason other than that we were close, and we'd never been, and we all wanted to visit. What an awesome geological spectacle it is. Go if you can - it's well worth the drive.

DVD Coming Soon!
