Kevin McCloud Brings Channel 4 Travelogue to Ireland

TV presenter and Grand Designs star Kevin McCloud swaps architectural plans for a road map in a new series airing on Channel 4 across Britain – produced by BriteSpark Films and supported by Tourism Ireland.

Kevin McCloud's Classic Car Road Trips takes viewers on a journey behind the wheel of some iconic classic cars in the countries where they were designed and built. Northern Ireland takes centre stage in episode three, which airs this Sunday (1 November), when viewers will see Kevin being handed the keys to a DeLorean DMC-12 and setting off along the Causeway Coastal Route for a journey rich in history and breathtaking scenery.

Julie Wakley, Tourism Ireland’s Head of Great Britain, said: “Tourism Ireland was excited to support filming for Channel 4’s new series, ‘Kevin McCloud's Classic Car Road Trips’. The iconic Causeway Coastal Route is the perfect place for a road trip in a DeLorean. We are thrilled that viewers across Britain will be able to join Kevin on this journey and, no doubt, be inspired to come and take their own road trip.”

Publicity and broadcasts like this are a key element of Tourism Ireland’s programme of promotional activity to inspire travellers around the world to choose the island of Ireland.
