I've been blessed during my Ireland travels to have visited nearly every kilometer of the Wild Atlantic Way. At 2500km, that's not a little stretch of land.
Now, I didn't do it all at once (though I did plan to a couple years ago, but the trip didn't happen), and neither should you – unless you have 2 months to devote to the drive. Because, and you'll want to trust me on this, you don't want to rush through these areas.
