The wild Atlantic Way is a driving route from Cork to Donegal of 2500 km long and is the longest driving route in the world. The drive would take about 7 days, conservatively to drive, as the roads are narrow and there are no motorways or highways. The Northern end of the Wild Atlantic Way is from Galway, Mayo, Sligo, and Donegal, with wilder scenery along the route.  The region of Connemara, Aran Islands, Clifden, Westport,  Achill Island, Ceide Fields, Sligo, Sliabh Liag Cliffs, and Ireland’s most northern point at Malin Head. So much great scenery all along the route, and lots of great activity.

The southern end of the route from  Shannon Airport has Cork, Kerry, Limerick and Clare can be travelled in the southern part of the route. The treasures of Castles and grand houses, island and lighthouses, headlands and cliffs of Moher are in this region. Ireland’s most southern point is Mizen Head Lighthouse.
