Road trip around the Wild Atlantic Way
The Wild Atlantic Way is a tourist route that runs along Ireland's west coast as well as sections of its north and south coastlines. The 2,500-kilometer (1,553-mile) drive spans nine counties and three provinces, from County Donegal's Inishowen Peninsula in Ulster to Kinsale, County Cork, in Munster, on the Celtic Sea coast. There are 157 discovery spots, 1,000 sights, and over 2,500 activities along the path. These routes have long been popular with residents and visitors alike for years, even before they were dubbed The Wild Atlantic Way Route. The road provides extremely stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean as well as locations to visit.
It will be difficult to plan an itinerary with so many hidden jewels along this road. If you want to avoid tourist favorites like the Cliffs of Moher, head to Fanad Head in Donegal instead. Climb the 76 stairs at Fanad Head Lighthouse for the best perspective of the untamed Atlantic Ocean. Rather than trying to pack everything into a few days, we believe it is more vital to calm down and allow the beauty of this lovely nation heal your spirit. Even though Ireland is a tiny nation, getting around and making memories takes time.
