DISCOVER THE SIX REGIONS
Brimming with enigmatic character, unmistakable atmosphere, unforgettable encounters and lasting memories;
the Wild Atlantic Way's six;regions showcase all this among sensational scenery.

The Haven Coast

REGION: BANTRY VIA SKIBBEREEN TO KINSALE

The southernmost stretch of the Wild Atlantic Way zigzags gently, from dreamy Bantry Bay through Skibbereen and on to Kinsale.

Southern Peninsulas

REGION: SOUTH KERRY TO WEST CORK

In Ireland’s beautiful far South West – where the ancient Kingdom of Kerry meets wild West Cork – five great peninsulas with mountainous spines stretch miles out into the ocean.

The Cliff Coast

REGION: GALWAY TO BALLYBUNION

“The land is hard, the soul is not” says the Lonely Planet about the Cliff Coast … where ice-age landscapes meet west-coast warmth, and music is a way of life.

The Bay Coast

REGION: SOUTH KERRY TO WEST CORK

From the crystal waters of distant Erris to the “savage beauty” of much-loved Connemara, the Wild Atlantic Way skims south around some impressive bays.

The Surf Coast

REGION: DONEGAL TOWN TO ERRIS

The Wild Atlantic Way stretches west along the wave-crashed coast from Donegal Town to far-flung Erris, recently voted Ireland’s ‘Best Place to Go Wild’.

The Northern Headlands

REGION: DONEGAL TOWN TO ERRIS

Untouched and virtually unexplored, this ruggedly beautiful and remote region lies at the far north of the Wild Atlantic Way. It’s no wonder Donegal was named the ‘Coolest Place on the Planet for 2017’ by National Geographic Traveller.
