Michael Portillo begins his journey across Ireland in the port of Wexford, where he takes to the seas in a 100-year-old lifeboat and discovers a hero of the American Navy. In Wicklow, he learns of a Victorian project to combat disease in the capital, Dublin. Embracing the gentler pace of life of a Victorian Irish traveler, he ends this leg in a beautiful horse-drawn, barrel-top caravan.
