Ulster by the Sea

Emer has been running Coney Island Caravan Park in County Down along with her husband Michael for over 30 years. Their biggest event of the summer is coming up – their annual bingo night, with its biggest ever prize of £1,100!

In this episode, Jim takes a boat trip to the tiny archipelago of Millisle, which proves to be an eye-opening experience for him. Other summer visitors to Millisle include a group of teenagers who get to enjoy carefree days at the caravan that are hard to find at home in Belfast - and for them the highlight of the summer is the 11th night ‘boney’.

Jon survived a heart attack two years ago, thanks to the help he got from the two managers at Shanlieve caravan park in Cranfield. He is now one of NI’s few year-round caravan park residents.
