Скачать или смотреть A Gentle Fire | Sounds of the Ulster Folk Museum

A gentle fire has been lit at Coshkib Farm. Cosy up close and imagine yourself safe and warm by the fire.

More than coal, peat would have been used to warm the homes of the people of Ulster. The earthy smell and heavy smoke kept house and home warm and dry, and more often than not, you’d be able to smell bread baking in its heat.



For Mental Health Awareness Week, we have created a playlist of sounds from around the Ulster Folk Museum that will connect you to our natural and cultural landscapes, giving you the chance to pause and take a moment to breathe while listening to birds, horses, or the sound of a gentle fire.
