John Creedon is a man on a mission, teasing and exploring the true meaning behind some of Ireland's most unusual, iconic and famous place names. Each show is an hour-long journey where John discovers lost meanings behind everyday place names.
He travels the length and breadth of Ireland with ancient maps and modern technology at hand to investigate, probe and uncover hidden folklore, forgotten history, secret architecture and obscure topography of our country’s towns, cities, villages, highways and byways that give rise to Ireland’s place names. Following in the footsteps of John O’Donovan – the man who helped document place names for the 1820s survey – John Creedon cracks the code of some of Ireland’s best loved, quirkiest and common place names.
