Wild Atlantic Way listed in top places to visit this decade
Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way has been listed in the top places to visit this decade by global travel site Big 7 Travel. This is a wonderful accolade, yet will come as no surprise to anyone who has experienced this captivating coastal route.
What is the Wild Atlantic Way?
The Wild Atlantic Way is an exploration of 2,500 km of coastline with headlands, harbours, sandy beaches and breath-taking viewing points, encompassing the counties of Donegal, Leitrim, Sligo, Mayo, Galway, Clare, Limerick, Kerry and Cork. It is the longest defined coastal drive in the world. However, it should not just be considered as a driving route on the western coast of Ireland, but instead as an adventure that will bring you to the most memorable places that you could have only ever dreamed of.
What to see
There are countless stunning places to see, such as Sliabh Liag in County Donegal, which boasts some of the highest and most impressive marine cliffs in Europe. The views across the Atlantic Ocean are outstanding! Another is Skellig Michael Island, a UNESCO World Heritage site in County Kerry. A ferry ride, which in itself is an adventure, will take you over to the island where Christian monks built a hermitage in the 6th Century. The island is steeped in history, with its ancient ruins, and the panoramic views are pretty spectacular too.
No matter where your interest lies, there is something for everyone on the Wild Atlantic Way. From outdoor adventure and endless sandy beaches, to scenic peninsulas and historical sites, everyday will create a unique memory.
