The show, fronted by Co Fermanagh actor, Adrian Dunbar, featured Magilligan beach, Mussenden Temple, the Giant’s Causeway, Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, Glenarm Castle, Mount Stewart House and Gardens and the Mourne Mountains.

The Line of Duty actor met with motorcycle star Michael Dunlop, chef Simon McCance who cooked a dish using Glenarm’s Shorthorn beef, Alex ‘Achi’ Colgan, Carrick-a-Rede’s last fisherman as well as with several other friends along the way.

“With around 2 million people across Britain set to watch the programme, it’s a great way to shine a spotlight on Northern Ireland and the island of Ireland, reminding viewers of our spectacular coastline.

“It will help ensure that Northern Ireland stays front-of-mind with prospective travellers, until such time as they can visit again.”

The series was devised by Afro-Mic Productions, a Belfast-based production company, and supported by Tourism Ireland and Northern Ireland Screen.

The episode, which was broadcast at 8pm on February 11, is available to watch on MY5.
