011. Cork
Celebrity father and son duo Martin and Roman Kemp begin their adventure on Ireland’s south coast in County Cork - an area shaped by powerful tides, dramatic history and the kind of stirring myths that Martin loves. They take to the water in kayaks to learn the story of Cliona, Queen of the Banshees, and the legend of her ominous ocean wave. They travel to the former prison known as ‘Ireland’s Alcatraz’, Spike Island, where they get up close and personal with its haunting history.
022. Meath & Dublin
Martin and Roman's adventure continues on Ireland’s west coast in the counties of Meath and Dublin. They begin in the historic hotspot of the Boyne valley at an ancient tomb described as the region’s best keep secret. At a structure that’s older than Stone Henge and Egypt’s pyramids, they encounter what some claim to be the earliest depiction of a human face. At the Hill of Tara they meet an Arch Druid and experience a sound bath that has a profound effect on both of them.
033. Northern Ireland
The final leg of their adventure takes them to a snowy Northern Ireland where they begin with a challenging dip in the freezing sea of the causeway coast as they empathise with legendary Selkies – mythical creatures that shape shift from seals to human form. At what’s reputed to be Northern Island’s most haunted hotel, Martin and Roman spend a fretful night, before exploring the Irish origins of Halloween and experiencing the spectacular Derry Halloween Festival – Europe’s largest.
