The Wild Atlantic Way is the road trip of a lifetime and Ireland’s first long-distance driving route. Stretching from the Inishowen Peninsula in Donegal to Kinsale in County Cork, travellers can navigate and discover Ireland’s wild, west coast.
The Wild Atlantic Way is where land and sea collide, Ireland’s last frontier against the marauding Atlantic Ocean. It is a journey along Ireland’s soul where wild raw beauty is your constant companion, with spectacular Irish coastal views that will take your breath away.
