The Wild Atlantic Way

29.04.2024

It is one of the well-known and the longest tourism trail, laid out on the west coast, and on parts of the north and south coasts, of Ireland. The 2,500 km driving route passes through nine counties and three provinces, stretching from County Donegal's Inishowen Peninsula in Ulster to Kinsale, County Cork, in Munster, on the Celtic Sea coast. It ranks among the world's longest defined coastal routes and it is certainly a great way to spend summer for exploration and adventure enthusiasts.

Some of the highlights along the Wild Atlantic Way include the notorious Cliffs of Moher, the Skelligs Viewpoint, the Dingle Peninsula, the Old Head of Kinsale, and Downpatrick Head. Nevertheless, there are plenty of other lovely places you can visit on your journey such as numerous charming towns and villages that offer a pinch of Irish culture and hospitality. It unfolds the wonders of nature, the power of the ocean, enchanting villages, monuments, whose origins are lost in the mists of time. Thanks to their remote and sometimes even isolated locations, the old traditions and the Irish language have been preserved. A trip along the coast does not only provide its visitors with magnificent sights and beautiful scenery but also opens a window to the mystical and peculiar past.

As the Wild Atlantic Way with its near 1600km is rather a multi-day's matter, you might not incorporate it in your regular holiday itinerary. Anyway, there are various spots worthwhile a quick visit on your way!

Take care of yourselves! Bye <33
