Driving across both Northern and Southern Ireland gives you a wonderful sense of the island’s rich tapestry. Northern Ireland charms with its coastal beauty and heritage sites, from the calm waters of Strangford Lough to the dramatic basalt columns at the Giant’s Causeway. Follow the Causeway Coastal Route and you’ll find ruined castles, windswept viewpoints, and quiet little villages where time seems to slow down.

Crossing south, the scenery softens into winding roads lined with wildflowers, shimmering lakes, and mountains rising out of the mist. The Ring of Kerry feels like stepping into a postcard—colourful fishing towns, sweeping ocean views, and the kind of scenery that makes you want to pull over every five minutes just to take it all in. These routes—and more—will soon be available in our detailed Ireland road trip planners, designed to help you explore this magical island with confidence.

Wild Atlantic Way Road Trip – Explore Ireland’s Dramatic West Coast

Wild Atlantic Way

This is a journey that truly sweeps you away. Travelling the legendary Wild Atlantic Way means tracing more than 2,500 kilometres of Ireland’s untamed western coastline, where the scenery changes constantly and never stops surprising you. One moment you’re driving beneath towering cliffs that seem to rise straight from the sea, and the next you’re wandering through quiet villages with colourful shopfronts and friendly locals.

As you weave your way past iconic stops like the Cliffs of Moher, the dramatic headlands of Donegal, or the windswept beauty of Achill Island, the road feels alive with story and atmosphere. In County Kerry, the Skellig Coast adds its own magic – remote islands, glacial valleys, and views that look impossible until you see them with your own eyes. Further south, the Dingle Peninsula wraps you in a warm blend of Irish culture, music, and wild Atlantic views, while towns like Galway bring that unmistakable mix of energy and tradition.
