Discovering the Wild Atlantic Way: May 2026
Embark on an unforgettable journey along Ireland's stunning coastline. Prepare to be captivated by exciting scenery and the genuine warmth of Irish hospitality. Join us as we recount the highlights of our Wild Atlantic Way adventure from May 2026.
Exciting scenery at every turn
The Wild Atlantic Way is a feast for the eyes, offering breathtaking vistas around every bend. From rugged cliffs to serene beaches, the natural beauty of Ireland's west coast is truly unparalleled. Prepare for a visual journey that will stay with you long after the trip ends.
Memories made in Galway
One of the true gems of our Wild Atlantic Way trip was the vibrant city of Galway. Its lively atmosphere, traditional music, and charming streets provided an unforgettable experience. Explore its rich history and soak in the culture that makes Galway so special.
Embracing Irish hospitality
A highlight of any trip to Ireland is undoubtedly the warm and welcoming Irish hospitality. From friendly locals to cosy pubs, you'll feel right at home. We highly recommend embracing every opportunity to connect with the people and culture – it truly enriches the experience.
Introduction and Pre Planning
This is a very different trip for us, no cabins, no flights just our car, a ferry, an open road and we hope an ample supply of petrol.
The planning has been , even by our standards, extraordinary! Spreadsheets abound, Irish apps found and downloaded and even an account opened with EasyTrip.ie to allow toll free (well not actually free just automatically charged as you drive through).
Our thanks to Girvan and Liz with whom we are staying for a few days towards the end of the trip, for their help in securing the EasyTrip tag. Having ordered it on line we were advised that due to Brexit custom rules said tag could not be posted to an address in the UK! It could however be posted to an address in Northern Ireland and then posted on to us! Bizarre or what!
Packing is somewhat of a challenge. The weather in Ireland can be four seasons in one day. It is unlikely to be cossie weather. The first two weeks will be featuring the west coast weather, expecting wind, rain and needing lots of layers. Doing single nights in B&Bs will need our 'travel pods' experience and we expect our stay with G&L to be a mix of sightseeing and some meals out so not glad rags but a bit more upmarket than the early part. Our last stop is a two night Warners stay in North Wales so again a potentially different outfit range required there.
All good fun!!
