The Wild Atlantic Way, Ireland

From Donegal to Kinsale, the breathtaking Wild Atlantic Way spans over 2,600 kilometres along Ireland's western coast, passing charming towns along the way. This coastal route, which is well-travelled by both locals and tourists, gives travellers a chance to see some of the nation's most beautiful landscapes.

Even though climbing on rocky cliffs can be more dangerous in the winter due to the ice and snow, now is still an excellent time to visit this picturesque route. Make sure you have dressed appropriately, and wear sturdy footwear that won't slip on the ice. Explore Glenveagh National Park's paths and hills by hiking. Choose the Garden Trail or Lakeside Walk, which are simpler and flatter, if it's icy or wet outdoors. In the centre of Donegal, visit the ancient, Gaelic Donegal Castle. After that, warm up with a hearty lunch at one of the local pubs.
