"Ronan Keating's Wild Atlantic" - Episode guide
Episode 01: Cork - Ronan begins his Wild Atlantic journey in the county of Cork, Ireland’s southernmost and largest county. He meets up with his nephew Ruairí, and it doesn’t take long for the Keating competitive spirit to reveal itself. Together, they face off in the ancient sport of road bowling along the back roads of the port town of Castletown-Bearhaven. Ronan also gets the chance to go foraging for wild edible plants in an enormous rewilding project area, and on the stunning Beara Peninsula, he visits the country’s first Tibetan Buddhist temple and retreat centre.
Episode 02: Kerry - Kerry is known as The Kingdom in Ireland, and it’s Ronan’s next stop on his Wild Atlantic journey. He joins his big brother Gary on the stunning Lough Leane in Killarney for a fishing trip, one that they first went on together 40 years ago. He also meets a couple who make traditional handcrafted leather items and gets to work on a guitar strap, before running onto the pitch at Dr Crokes GAA club to play some hurling – the fastest field sport in the world.
Episode 03: Mayo to Sligo - Ronan Keating continues his epic journey along Ireland’s Wild Atlantic coast. He makes an emotional trip across the waves with his nephew Conall to Clare Island, a special place for the entire Keating family. They get to grips with a traditional loom, before Ronan heads for Sligo to meet up with a fellow boyband veteran, Shane Filan of Westlife, for some horse riding on the golden sands of Strandhill Beach.
Episode 04: Donegal - Ronan travels north for the next stop of his Wild Atlantic journey. He grabs his leathers and his helmet, and jumps on his motorbike to explore the north west coast with his great friend, the artist Terry Bradley.
He also does some fossil hunting to find the materials to make some extraordinary jewellery, and he doesn’t miss a chance to get on stage to duet with singer Claudia Buckley in one of Donegal’s buzzing country music venues.
Episode 05: Derry/Londonderry - Ronan completes this leg of his journey along Ireland's Wild Atlantic in County Derry/Londonderry. He walks the 400-year-old walls of the city with comedian Diona Doherty, and hits the farm to find out just what it takes to be a competitive sheep herder, before heading for the windswept coastline of Castlerock to meet a skilled craft worker who builds traditional coracle boats by hand.
Why has Ronan Keating embarked on this journey across Ireland?
A big reason for Ronan Keating taking on this project was to revisit his childhood, particularly as a means to deal with his grief in the wake of his brother passing away.
Speaking about the series, Keating told the BBC: "It’s felt really special making this series, rediscovering magical places that have meant so much to me and my family.
"I was 16 when I left Ireland, and there was so much of the west coast I hadn’t seen. Now, I’m coming home, and I can’t wait for viewers to share all the laughter and tears along the way."
What else can I watch on BBC iPlayer?
Lots – including other great travel docs like "The Other Bennet Sister", "50 Places to See Before You Die", "Pilgrimage", "Great Japanese Railway Journeys", "Race Across the World", "Farm 999", "Chronicles of the Sperrins" and "Clive Myrie's Italian Road Trip".
