It’s a landscape of epic vistas and breath-taking panoramas. The Mournes is an area of outstanding natural beauty that has inspired writers and artists, providing solace and a livelihood for visitors and those who call it home. Narrated by Northern Ireland actor Colin Morgan - star of The Fall, Humans and Merlin - a new four-part BBC Northern Ireland series, The Chronicles of Mourne, takes viewers on a journey through the seasons and through the stunning scenery of the magnificent Mournes meeting the people who live, work and play there. With 220 square miles of enchanted forests and spectacular scenery it is said that the Mournes inspired Belfast-born writer CS Lewis’ magical kingdom of Narnia. The series, which was filmed over a year, charts a season in each programme, beginning with summer, and meets the people who have fallen under its spell. Over the four weeks, viewers will be treated to stunning aerial shots and time-lapse photography of the natural beauty of the landscape as the series, made by Waddell Media for BBC Northern Ireland, follows the people who have a special relationship with the area.
