It is autumn, and the landscape is beginning to turn as oranges, reds and browns take over from the rich green of the summer. On the McBrides' farm on Fairhead, Sean and his son Gerard are preparing calves for market.

On the moors on Glenwherry Hill, Glenarm’s head gamekeeper is leaving grit out for the grouse. In the coastal village of Cushendall, members of the Cairns estate are preparing for a Halloween fundraising event at Tiveragh allotments.

Angler Sean McIlhatton has been fishing the River Dun in Glendun since he was 16. He talks about his love of the river and his worry that salmon and trout numbers are continuing to decline.

In Glenarm, staff on the historic castle estate are gathering apples to press into juice, while in Glendun, farmer John McAuley is checking on his sheep. He has built a public footpath on his land, Ronan's Way, named after his son who tragically died at the age of 38. The footpath is now ready for its official opening. Show less
