The Wild Atlantic Way ~ Slí an Atlantaigh Fhiáin
The Wild Atlantic Way / Slí an Atlantaigh Fhiáin is an exciting new initiative, linking together some of the most spectacular coastal routes in Ireland into a single stunning long distance driving route.
The Way stretches for 2,500km along Irelands western seaboard. From Donegal in the north to Cork in the south, through regions like Connemara, The Burren, Galway Bay and Kerry, making it the longest defined coastal route in the world.
Along the route there are 159 discovery points that will help people to discover the culture and landscape that makes the west coast of Ireland so unique.
The Dingle Peninsula has eight of the discovery points and some of the most stunning coastal scenery in Ireland (if not the World). The Wild Atlantic Way incorporates the Slea Head Drive and Conor Pass.
Signage
The route of the Wild Atlantic Way is marked by special brown roadsigns with a blue and white "WAW" logo. The route can be followed in a northerly or southerly direction: this is indicated by a letter "N" or "S" in brackets.
