Boasting ancient tombs, atmospheric castles and sacred retreats, all set in spectacular scenery, the Wild Atlantic Way is alive with treasures to explore. Unearthing the region's past can offer a deeper understanding of the whole island's history, culture and heritage. Beginning in Kinsale, Neil Jackman guides us through the top 100 historic attractions dotted along the way, from famous ancient finds (the remnants of a 5,000-year-old farming society in the Ceide Fields) to vestiges of the more recent past (the cottage of 1916 revolutionary Patrick Pearse). There are tales of Barbary pirates in Baltimore and of the first transatlantic flight lifting off from a remote Connemara bog. This lively look at the long history of the coast gives new insights into old favourites like Clare's Cliffs of Moher and Donegal's Glenveagh National Park, as well as revealing lesser-known delights like the monastic site at Reask in County Kerry and the Doonfeeny Standing Stone in County Mayo. Packed with practical information, here is everything you need to know about the history of iconic landscapes like the Ring of Kerry and the Inishowen Peninsula, as well as towns and cities such as Limerick and Sligo. For those wanting to get off the beaten track, there are trips to islands like Scattery, Inishmurray and, of course, the breathtaking Skellig Michael. This engaging and practical guide is an essential companion for any explorer wishing to dig deeper and discover the gems of this fascinating trail.
