The island of Ireland, split into the separate Republic and Northern Ireland, has so much to discover that it requires several trips – from rugged natural beauty to charming villages and miles of coast and countryside.
One of the best ways to see some of the most magnificent spots, as well as tick off world-famous landmarks in cities and exchange tales with locals in rural villages, is to fuel up your car and hit some of Ireland’s best road routes. Road trips mean you can more easily access those hard-to-reach places where public transport is sparse.
