Kevin McCloud road trips along Causeway Coastal Route
Grand Designs star on the North Coast
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 GB, said: “Tourism Ireland was excited to support filming for Channel 4’s new series, ‘Kevin McCloud's Classic Car Road Trips’.
“Northern Ireland is home to the iconic Causeway Coastal Route, making it, in our opinion, the perfect place for a road trip in a DeLorean.
“We are thrilled that viewers across GB will be able to join Kevin on this journey and, no doubt, be inspired to come and take their own road trip around Northern Ireland.”
Tourism Ireland said publicity and broadcasts like this are a key element of its programme of promotional activity to inspire travellers around the world to choose the island of Ireland.
