A fun road to drive on. Lots of twists and turns. The scenery and coastline is stunning too. Well worth renting a car and driving around.Full review by geelongexpat

Wild Atlantic Way is a road, which crosses Ireland from the South to the North following the Western coast. It is a wonderful scenic road, where you can see some of the best natural landscapes in the…Full review by AlbertSalichs

It's about 1600 miles (2600 km) in length and as such is one of the longest defined coastal routes in the world. It winds its way all along the Irish coast from the Inishowen Peninsula in the north Down to Kinsale, County Cork, in the south. Probably best to pick a section starting in Kinsale, close to Cork Airport and meander up to Galway as an interesting primer. Good luck in your research.
Hello, I was reading your review on the WAW and you mentioned the Dingle Peninsula. We will be there in April and I am wondering how the Dingle Peninsula was as we might not be able to fit it in, since we are doing the Ring of Kerry. Thank you for any help, colleen

Hi, we chose Dingle as we just didn’t have time to do both and the weather fogged in over the Ring of Kerry. Try and stay in the Kilrush Marina glamming pods ... such fun. Safe travels:)
We are planning a trip in early May... flying into cork. We are wondering if it is possible not to make reservations ahead but rather take it day to day and make arrangements as we make our way... Any advice?
A:
Bring a tent! Many years ago I did the same, travelled around the Wild Atlantic Way without too much of a plan. Was one of the best trips I've ever done.
We are hoping to do the wild Atlantic Way from Kinsale to Derry with our 2 dogs in May 2018, wondering if it’s possible to hire a dog friendly motorhome or to drive in our car then do pet friendly b&bs? Any advice from anyone who’s done this with dogs please?

If you found pet friendly places to stay I would say that would be much better than renting a motor home. A motor home will be much harder to drive on the narrow roads. I went in …
If you found pet friendly places to stay I would say that would be much better than renting a motor home. A motor home will be much harder to drive on the narrow roads. I went in August so it was peak season and there were lots of vehicles on the roads and there were places where only one car could proceed at a time. Cars travelling in opposite directions had to take turns. Main highways from Dublin to the coast are fine but country and coastal roads are very narrow compared to North American standards, so be forewarned
