Ben Fogle: New Lives in the Wild (2013): Season 16, Episode 2

16 - 2: Ireland

Ben ventures to the Emerald Isle to visit Georg and Bettina, a couple from Austria and Germany who made the Irish wilderness their home nearly 40 years ago. He uncovers what drove them to leave their old lives in Europe, and learns how they saw life and beauty in the middle of a desolate bog. Ben experiences how they have transformed an infertile, barren site into their very own nature retreat, building an off-grid home and establishing a relationship with the natural world around them.
