Which are the Irish counties on the Wild Atlantic Way?

The Wild Atlantic Way (or WAW) is a 2,600-27,00km route, developed by Fáilte Ireland, which travels along the rugged West Coast of Ireland. The WAW takes you through 9 counties on the Wild Atlantic Way out of the 32 counties on the Island of Ireland.

The Causeway Coastal Route

Northern Ireland (which is part of the UK) has 6 counties. Northern Ireland has the Causeway Coastal Route along the Northern part of the Island that follows the coast from Derry to Belfast.

The Causeway Coastal Route is not part of the Wild Atlantic Way, and is much shorter.

But the Causeway Coastal Route does cover some nice scenery and passes memorable places such as the Giant’s Causeway, the rope bridge at Carrick-a-Rede, the Dark Hedges and Portrush Beach, amongst others.

I have now added this route to this site. Remember this is located in the UK so the signs are different as well as the currency (British Pounds instead of Euros), You can find the route here: Causeway Coastal Route.
