A JOURNEY THROUGH WICKLOW TO AIR THIS FEBRUARY!

Issued, 11th February 2010

Wicklow County Tourism launches its promotional tourist programme, ‘A Journey through Wicklow’ on City Channel in Dublin and Galway and Channel South in the Munster region this Tuesday, 16th February.

The promotional show highlights the beauty and attractions of the Garden County, and was commissioned by Wicklow County Tourism.

The half hour programme, entitled ‘A Journey through Wicklow’, is hosted by broadcaster Siobhán O’Connor and presents a wonderful overview of all that Wicklow has to offer as the presenter travels around the county. Highlights along the route include Russborough House, Avondale House, Mount Usher Gardens, Wicklow Gaol and Victoria’s Way.

The premier will air on Tuesday, 16th February at 8pm and will be repeated at different times each day over the week. Those who miss the airing in February will be able to watch the programme again when it airs in late spring or early summer.

Presenter Siobhán commented, “I thoroughly enjoyed working on ‘A Journey through Wicklow’. I’m from Dublin but rarely visited the Garden County and couldn’t believe how much I’d been missing. It’s so close to Dublin and can easily be visited for a day trip or indeed for a holiday break. The scenery is some of the most breathtaking I’ve ever seen and so close to the capital.”

Commenting on the project, Chairman of Wicklow County Tourism Tom Fortune said, “This programme shows Wicklow at its very best and highlights the wonderful sights and attractions on offer to visitors. This film will enable us to promote our beautiful county both at home and abroad. More information on the attractions shown in the programme along with the latest Wicklow tourist news, holiday packages and special offers can be found at www.visitwicklow.ie.”

The film will also be available online soon on www.visitwicklow.ie, so keep checking back to view the programme online! ‘A Journey through Wicklow’ will air on City Channel at the following times: Tuesday, 16th February – 8.05pm, Wednesday, 17th February – 6pm, Thursday, 18th February – 3pm, Friday, 19th February – 8.05pm, Saturday, 20th February – 4pm and Sunday, 21st February – 6pm.
