Itineraries

• The Atlantic Drive is signposted and takes you around the peninsula.

The best thing to do is enjoy the experience and find your own way around.

Stay safe

The main danger when travelling in this region is the roads, or lack of them! Travelling on the coastal roads can be hair-raising for those inexperienced with Irish driving. Roads are narrow and twisting, many hug the cliff-face and the driver will not have the time or inclination to admire the surrounding scenery!
