We set out on a scenic journey along this coastal road from the verdant south to the mountainous north, taking a look at some of the most iconic sights along the way.<\/p>\n<p>A logical place to begin any journey along this route is within the southern section of Ireland&#8217;s west coast, the Iveragh Peninsula. But this isn&#8217;t just a matter of convenience; the Ring of Kerry is a spectacularly scenic drive that circumnavigates this distinct patch of land, covering a staggering 179 kilometres, while taking in pristine beaches and atmospheric fishing villages.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-6589\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2016\/08\/KerryCliffs_iStock_aprott_www.istockphoto-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"The Wild Atlantic Way\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/KerryCliffs_iStock_aprott_www.istockphoto-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/KerryCliffs_iStock_aprott_www.istockphoto-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/KerryCliffs_iStock_aprott_www.istockphoto-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/KerryCliffs_iStock_aprott_www.istockphoto-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/KerryCliffs_iStock_aprott_www.istockphoto-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/KerryCliffs_iStock_aprott_www.istockphoto.jpg 1698w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>From the Ring of Kerry, it&#8217;s then an easy journey up the coast to the neighbouring headland, the Dingle Peninsula, where windswept beaches and cliffs are backed by undulating green hills and the 952-metre Mount Brandon. This is also where Ireland&#8217;s most westerly point, Dunmore Head, can be accessed. But it&#8217;s not just the ocean views that draw people to this isolated spot; the peninsula&#8217;s heritage is also evident through its wealth of prehistoric ruins.<\/p>\n<p>One of Ireland&#8217;s major cities, Limerick lies a little further north. Visitors come here to explore the old town, where medieval buildings sit alongside Georgian structures and the 13<sup>th<\/sup> century King John&#8217;s Castle. In 2014, the historic city was also given new appeal, when it became Ireland&#8217;s first ever City of Culture, encouraging both creativity and regeneration.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-6590\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2016\/08\/RingofKerry_iStock_upthebanner_www.istockphoto-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"The Wild Atlantic Way\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/RingofKerry_iStock_upthebanner_www.istockphoto-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/RingofKerry_iStock_upthebanner_www.istockphoto-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/RingofKerry_iStock_upthebanner_www.istockphoto-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/RingofKerry_iStock_upthebanner_www.istockphoto-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/RingofKerry_iStock_upthebanner_www.istockphoto-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/RingofKerry_iStock_upthebanner_www.istockphoto.jpg 1698w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After leaving Limerick, many visitors head to the coast, where Liscannor Bay is conveniently located. This stretch of County Clare coast is where the Cliffs of Moher begin, with the small town of Lahinch nearby, pristine shores, and the promise of wild seals to be seen offshore. It&#8217;s also in this remote spot that visitors can set out on a wild food foraging adventure with local food expert Oonagh O&#8217;Dwyer and the <a href=\"http:\/\/wildkitchen.ie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wild Kitchen<\/a>, after which some of this foraged local produce is cooked up at nearby <a href=\"http:\/\/barrtra.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Barrtra Seafood Restaurant<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most spectacular sections of the Wild Atlantic Way follows soon after. Said to be the most visited natural attraction in Ireland, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cliffsofmoher.ie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cliffs of Moher<\/a> rise to an impressive 214 metres and stretch across eight kilometres, inspiring many people to walk this breathtaking cliff-top route. Then, from this iconic site it&#8217;s a short journey north to another of the west coast&#8217;s biggest draws, the vibrant city of Galway. Offering a contrast between Irish traditions and contemporary arts and culture, Galway hosts countless festivals throughout the year in celebration of its exceptional creativity.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-6591\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2016\/08\/CliffsofMoher_iStock_www.istockphoto-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"The Wild Atlantic Way\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/CliffsofMoher_iStock_www.istockphoto-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/CliffsofMoher_iStock_www.istockphoto-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/CliffsofMoher_iStock_www.istockphoto-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/CliffsofMoher_iStock_www.istockphoto-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/CliffsofMoher_iStock_www.istockphoto-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/CliffsofMoher_iStock_www.istockphoto.jpg 1698w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While Galway has earned its popularity through arts and culture, the isolated region of Connemara remains a steadfast draw for its Irish traditions, with few other places offering such untouched natural beauty. Soak up local life in the harbour-side fishing village of Clifden, take in panoramic ocean views from the Connemara Loop, and step into the Benedictine monastery of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kylemoreabbey.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kylemore Abbey<\/a>, with its grand interiors and intriguing heritage.<\/p>\n<p>Ireland also has a rich literary history, and there are few literary figures more representative of this than poet William Yeats. This is why, further up the Wild Atlantic way in Sligo, Damien Brennan and Paula Gilvarry welcome guests into their home, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yeatssligoireland.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Broc House<\/a>, to gain a greater appreciation for his poetry.
