'Creedon's Wild Atlantic Way' On TV Tomorrow

#OnTV - The fruits of John Creedon's epic journey along the full length of the Wild Atlantic Way will be for all to see when the first of his new three-part TV series airs on RTÉ One tomorrow evening.

Creedon’s Wild Atlantic Way follows the veteran broadcaster from Kinsale to Malin Head, taking in the many and varied sights and people he meets along the way.

The Irish Examiner has much more on the three-month adventure by classic Volkswagen camper van - though seeing it by motor isn't the best option, according to one well-known West Cork resident.

“If you want to really know the Wild Atlantic Way,” Jeremy Irons tells Creedon, “you have to stop the car, probably come on a bicycle, and really follow your nose, because the secret places are always on the seaside, because the coast is such that you won’t have the main road clinging to the coast, you’ve gotta walk, or you have to cycle.

“This is gold-dust and should be dealt with really carefully, with great intelligence, because it is one of the last remaining wild outposts of Europe.”

Tune in to RTÉ One tomorrow evening Sunday 26 July at 6.30pm to sample the magic of the Wild Atlantic Way from the comfort of your home - or even abroad, as the programme will be available on RTÉ Player International.
