NI Science Festival

Take a stroll along Benone Beach, led by our free, downloadable podcast, map and guide, and find out about the histories and stories associated with the North Coast from the Foyle to Rathlin.   This event brings together three heritage projects: the Northern Ireland Place-Name Project, Unlocking the Vikings and Spreading the Words. Together, we have produced a set of materials which explore names, legends and historical records to bring to life the medieval past of this fascinating area of coastline. Envisage Norse ships based in the Foyle, imagine the beautiful woman who supposedly drowned in the Bann while being taken to the sea-god Manannán mac Lir, and view spectacular places named in various languages, by various peoples. 

The Ulster Transport Museum presents Local Waves, a series of four podcasts where we take some time out to interview four local people from across Northern Ireland who interact with the sea in different ways. As we learn about their local waves we will also get an insight into how their activities in the water help with their mental health and re-establish that connection with the sea. At the end of the podcast, relax and listen to the sounds of waves from around our coastline. This series looks at encouraging people of all abilities to engage with the water on a sensory level using sound as a way of making our local waves more accessible to everyone.
