Connecticut Steals the Spotlight in Hit Travel Show “High Road, Low Road” – Now Streaming on YouTube
Connecticut’s character, history, and local flavor were on full display in a recent episode of the hit Irish travel series "High Road, Low Road."
The show follows Irish television and radio personalities Brian Dowling and Laura Fox as they travel through Connecticut in two different ways—one enjoying high-end accommodations and experiences, while the other takes a more budget-friendly route. Their journey through Connecticut takes them from coastal escapes to off-the-beaten-path experiences, showing the many ways to explore the state.
"Seeing Connecticut through the eyes of visitors always brings a fresh perspective, and this episode captures so much of what makes our state special," said Rachel Lenda, Director of Tourism. "The fact that both hosts repeatedly said it felt like a movie set speaks to the beauty and charm of our towns, coastline, and countryside. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a lifelong resident, it’s a reminder of just how much there is to explore here.
The episode features a mix of Connecticut businesses and attractions, including:
- Madison Beach Hotel
- Baymont by Wyndham – Branford
- Joshua’s Worldwide Transportation Services
- UTV Backyard Adventure Tours
- Lyman Orchards
- Chester/Hadlyme Ferry
- Gillette Castle
- NewGen Pickleball
- Bradley International Airport
- Tree Trails – Mystic
- Frank Pepe Pizzeria
- Mark Twain House

- Thimble Island Boat Tours
"It's not every day that Connecticut gets the spotlight on an international stage, and this episode delivers in such a fun and unexpected way," Lenda added. "It’s exciting to see how the show captures not just the well-known landmarks but also the small-town charm, local businesses, and unique experiences that make Connecticut such a dynamic place. This kind of exposure introduces a whole new audience to the heart of our state—where history, innovation, and natural beauty all come together in a way you won’t find anywhere else."
