I'm not sure about access from outside of Ireland, but if you can, give it a go, the second episode especially.

That looks lovely, Ryaner. I could see a tiny clip online at least, but sadly not the programme. I expect there are ways.
That is definitely a part of Ireland I would like to visit. All those interesting plants and animals, plus the strange landscape and all the archaeology. One day. When we're eventually allowed.
Hope you are doing ok?! You seem to have been able to get out and about judging by your posts, which is good.

This worked for me

1. Click on link from ryaner
2. Black screen comes up
3. Enter Burren into search box and press enter
4. Right click on picture and press open in a new box
5. Press play 1st episode and series 2 episode 2 starts playing

Hope it works for you too

The trouble with The Burren - great, surreal landscape that it is - is I always get visions of 'Benson's Whistle'....

This smashing little 10 minutes or so will be of interest I am sure. Richard Long's stone circling on The Burren from the 1970s is revisited and renovated by a squad of mystical students from the local college. Featuring Richard Long on vocal duties. Very, very cool!
