Next stops along the Wild Atlantic Way — and WOW, it completely lived up to the hype. 🤩🙌
Donegal welcomed us with the cutest little market, and our first lesson in Irish parking. 😅 We didn’t have the right coins, so we popped into the bank to ask about change and the woman at the counter just reached into their “help tourists park” bag and handed us a pound.
Donegal Castle is small but full of beautiful details — and the highlight was a guide casually playing traditional music on a violin inside. (Also… tree chair outside was very cool🌳)
We stayed the night in Bundoran — not the best hotel, but such a cute seaside town.
And then came Downpatrick Head…
possibly my favorite stop in all of magical Ireland. ✨
We army-crawled our way to the edge in the wind, with soft grass under us, birds singing, and the most epic landscape stretching forever — and only about five other people there. It felt wild and peaceful and surreal all at once. 💓
Somewhere along the drive we spotted a very interesting agricultural pyramid, and of course we had Irish pub songs blasting in the car as we wound along the coast. 🤗
The Wild Atlantic Way is pure magic. 💫
