Wild Atlantic Way Road Trip Vlog Series: Touring Achill Island and Westport
Wild Atlantic Way Road Trip Vlog Series: Touring Achill Island and Westport
In this episode we continue our tour south along the Wild Atlantic in our camervan - Trudy and arrive and the beautiful Achill Island. We couldn't resits stopping for lunch in Europes most westerly pub - Gieltys Bar. Chris had a wonderful plate of traditional fish and chips.
After lunch we drove on the road to Keel Beach - not a road for anyone with a fear of heights - the road has a straight drop right next to it - but wow the views are amazing !.
Keel beach is just fabulous the weather was yet again amazing and the colour of the water makes it look like we were on a tropical island !!
After leaving Achill Island we headed into the town of Westport to meet up with Niamh, Roger & Rossi who own a Fishing and adventure shop in town. They had been following our adventure on social media so we popped in to see them on the way through. We ended up stopping the night and sharing stories over a couple of pints of Guinness. They presented us with a fishing rod and tackle so we could catch dinner on our travels - thanks guys - that was such a nice gift !!!
The Wild Atlantic Way is one of the longest designated coastal road trips in the world at over 2,500 km long. Our road trip of the Wild Atlantic Way started at the most Northern Point of Ireland - Malin Head and finished all the way at the bottom in the town of Kinsale.
The Wild Atlantic way is a road trip of a lifetime and that’s why we just had to do it and produce a travel series of vlogs of our experiences along this magical road. We saw beautiful and dramatic cliffs, stunning beaches, the best sunsets, met lots of lovely people, sung at a shanty festival and saw Ireland at it’s best. If you come to Ireland you must visit the Wild Atlantic Way - even if you can’t do the complete road trip just go and do part of it - absolutely awesome and what a road trip to start off our never ending journey around the Globe.
We hope you enjoy this episode of our Wild Atlantic Way Road Trip Vlog Series.

Quelques arrêts sont possibles en bordure de l'Atlantic Drive afin d'admirer la baie d'Ashleam.

Et, oh surprise, des moutons... tachetés de rose, de bleu ... Des moutons qui s'affrontent pour une jolie brebis ...
