Episode 3 - Borris Railway
In this episode, Billy and Fergal return with a Borris Tale rather than a Borris Trail. Tracing where possible the original route of the Old Borris Railway, they tell the story of this railway and its legacy. Although large portions of the old railway are not easily accessible they show how the recent redevelopment of the Viaduct has opened up a portion of its route for visitors to enjoy.
Episode 2 - Knockroe
Knockroe, a foothill of Mount Leinster has an interesting history. In this episode Billy and Fergal document some of it's stories on their trail and give us a brief glimpse of it's spectacularly beautiful scenery.
