Ireland’s coastline and countrysid­e featured in new More4 series

-

IMAGES of Ireland’s beautiful coastline and countrysid­e were recently beamed into homes across Britain in a new More4 series called Ireland: Coast & Country.

The three-part series, produced by Alfro-Mic production­s, a Belfast production company, and supported by tourism Ireland, follows various personalit­ies from across the island of Ireland offering viewers the chance to learn about their daily activities and lifestyles and to see the spectacula­r landscape.

Characters featured in the series include a wild ocean photograph­er in Co Clare, Ireland’s first and only vermouth makers on Valentia Island, a lighthouse keeper on Rathlin Island, a goat herder in Howth, as well as three mountain climbers – all more than 70 years old – exploring the Wicklow Mountains.

Julie Wakley, Tourism Ireland’s head of Great Britain, said: “Tourism Ireland was delighted to support the production of this new three-part TV series, Ireland: Coast & Country. With a large audience right across Britain set to watch the series on More4, it’s a great way to shine a spotlight on the island of Ireland – highlighti­ng our spectacula­r coastline and countrysid­e, our wonderful people and some of the fantastic experience­s on offer here. It will remind British viewers why Ireland is a great choice for a holiday.

“Publicity and broadcasts like this are a key element of Tourism Ireland’s programme of activity, to encourage travellers in Britain to put the island of Ireland on their holiday wish-list.”

Ireland: Coast & Country from More4 is available to watch on demand.
