    Wild Atlantic Way
    star-wars-last-jedi-malin-head-county-donegal star-wars-last-jedi-malin-head-county-donegal

    Enjoy a journey of a lifetime as you travel the 2,500km-long coastal road known as the Wild Atlantic Way

    From the wind-whipped tip of <a href="https://www.ireland.com/en-no/destinations/regions/malin-head/">Malin Head</a> in <a href="https://www.ireland.com/en-no/destinations/county/donegal/county-donegal/">County Donegal</a> to the balmy beauty of Kinsale town in <a href="https://www.ireland.com/en-no/destinations/county/cork/county-cork/">County Cork</a>, <a href="https://www.ireland.com/en-no/plan-your-trip/trip-ideas/48-hours-irelands-west/">the west of Ireland</a> will wow you with its epic landscapes and charm you with its quiet moments. This is a place that has inspired dreamers and drifters, poets and painters, with a landscape laced with dry-stone walls, thatched cottages, brooding mountains and deserted beaches. Escape, explore and enjoy an off-the-beaten track adventure on the very edge of Europe.

    Unforgettable moments

    It's easy to feel the wild that defines this coastline; it's everywhere, from sheer cliffs that plunge into crashing Atlantic waves to remote, weather-beaten islands. But the west of Ireland is about more than that, it's about moments of connection. It's the chat from locals, the warmth of a fire-lit pub, the tapping feet of a traditional music session. From the elemental weather to the oak-smoked salmon, the essence of the Wild Atlantic Way runs deep.
