These are some of the most Scenic Roads of Ireland
The scenic roads of Ireland are a road trippers nirvana. The angelic tapestry that forms Ireland’s landscape has taken thousands of years to weft and warp into a masterpiece that only nature could weave. The rural farmlands have sheep wandering aimlessly with cattle making their home in actual old homes. Many of the country roads are quite narrow and reveal hidden treasures, from ruin castles, ancient rock walls, opulent graveyards to stunning sea cliffs.
The roads often pass through fanciful villages that seem like imaginary places described in children’s books, with brightly colored buildings, thatched roofs and historic monuments. The scenic roads of Ireland have stretches such as the Wild Atlantic Way, which runs down the western coast of the country. The Wild Atlantic Way gets it name for a reason—there is often wickedly wild weather creating waves and whitewash along the shores, which showcases the spirit of this Emerald Isle.

Ireland is a place where leprechauns are more than myths, and storytelling is legendary. Here is a series of photos that showcase some of the incredibly scenic roads of Ireland.
This stretch is just north of the Cliffs Moher and is just one of the many scenic roads of Ireland
The landscape in Ireland is surprisingly diverse. This is the Burren in County Clare in the Southwest part of the country.
Sky Road along the Wild Atlantic Way in Clifton is definitely one of my favorite scenic roads in Ireland.
