TheWild AtlanticWay
A region of natural beauty, theWild AtlanticWay
is the longest defined coastal touring route in the
world, and showcases some of the most scenic
points along Ireland’s coastline. Stretching 2,500km
from Inishowen Co. Donegal at its most northerly
point, to Kinsale, Co. Cork, its southern point.
This is a place of magic which promises to leave
life-long memories – whether strolling among the
wildflowers of the Burren UNESCO geopark, gazing
at Europe’s highest sea cliffs, Sliabh Liag, with the
might of the swirling Atlantic Ocean crashing below,
or simply sitting by a turf fire in a traditional pub,
eating the freshest of seafood, and drifting away on
the melody of Irish song, music and language.
And yet, theWild AtlanticWay is so much more
than an elemental destination with breathtaking
vistas at every turn: it enchants you with its unique
qualities, a pace of life, culture, and captivating
people that makes you want to live in the moment
and embrace the very nature of the place.
Experience the vast expanse of Ballycroy National
Park, drinking in the scene of mountains and
valleys along the Beara Peninsula, or walking in the
footsteps of Ireland’s great poet,WB Yeats, “under
bare Ben Bulben’s head”. It’s out on these western
extremities that you’ll become enveloped by a rich
culture and famed Irish welcome, echoed by the
ocean’s roar. Discover the Ireland that you’ve always
imagined and a destination that will call you back
time and again.
