Over the past two years or so, I have experienced a good deal of what The Wild Atlantic Way has to offer a cyclist. The longest coastal route in the World has spectacular scenery and incredible experiences to offer anyone who prefers to explore on two wheels rather than four.
To read more about these areas and where I stayed along the way take a look at Irish Cycling Hotels :

What a beautiful country we live in, and no better way to see it, than on the bike

Very true Angela. We sometimes take it for granted how beautiful our country really is.
Some of those roads are very well known to me, I’ve had many fabulous days out in West Clare and in Kerry on the bike. Must get up North more.

Clare and Kerry are spectacular Ed, but Donegal really is well worth a visit too.
And there is no sign of the rain here ? If Only !
So tempting to forego the TDF and spend the time in my birth country instead !
How expensive is the accomodation in this area and what of the night life ?

It really is amazing how many days of sunshine we actually get Skippy. The accommodation in the hotels that I stayed in was very reasonable, especially mid week. The food was excellent too. As a cyclist who has to be up early every morning I saw very little of the nightlife 😉 Although many of the hotels had traditional live music during the summer months.
I spent a week cycling from Limerick to Dingle and on around the Ring of Kerry last Summer. The weather was great for the week. https://vimeo.com/102553197

Nice one. I rode in the Tour de Connemara this year, already booked accommodation to do it again in ’17 and staying 7 nights to do a bit more cycling in the area.
