It was May 19, 2022, when I reached the summit and the end of my Wild Atlantic Way, crying. No words, just emotion.

Great scenery, crazy wild coast. That's how you imagine Ireland.

Very impressive landscape... it is always worth taking the route

The hike itself is only interesting around Lloyds Signal Tower-Malin Head, as most of the wall is on roads within the island and there is no coastal access. In addition, almost all coastal sections are inaccessible, widely fenced off and marked as private property.

This breathtaking coastal road is part of the renowned Wild Atlantic Way, a long-distance cycling route along the west coast of Ireland. Here, you'll cycle along the northern tip of the Inishowen Peninsula, which offers magnificent coastal panoramas over to the Inish Mountains along a tranquil, winding road nestled amidst rocky outcrops and lush grass.

From this tiny hamlet of Lag, there's a spectacular view of the Five Fingers Strand and its impressive dunes. These soar up to 100 feet (30 m) and are amongst the highest in Europe.

Muff, derived from the Irish word 'Magh' (meaning 'plain') is a village near the mouth of the River Foyle as it converges into Lough Foyle. It's close to the border separating the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Due to its humorous name, the village gets frequent smirks from passersby and visitors. Despite recent proposals to rename it, such suggestions have been consistently rejected. Now, residents are embracing its double entendre fame, with merchandise like T-shirts, keyrings, and baseballs featuring the slogan 'I love Muff' being sold online. Since the early 17th century, the small town has celebrated summer with the annual 'Muff Festival'.

In this stretch of the road, if you look to the north, you can easily spot a beautiful building. It's the church of Tamlaghtard. Did you know that it is said to have been founded by St. Patrick?
