Documenting Heritage

The Cinematic Country is one of Ireland’s most widely followed platforms dedicated to uncovering and preserving the stories of the country’s architectural heritage.

Founded by filmmaker and drone pilot Fergus Hugh Wright, the project combines cinematic aerial footage, photography, and historical research to document Ireland’s historic houses, castles, and landscapes, from world-famous estates to forgotten ruins hidden across the countryside.

With a global audience of more than 300,000 followers across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook, The Cinematic Country’s short-form documentary films bring these remarkable places back to life, inspiring curiosity, tourism, and a deeper appreciation for Ireland’s historic built heritage.

His work has been featured by national media and heritage organisations, and he regularly collaborates with historic estates to share their stories with a modern audience.
