(NORTHERN) ireland
An overlanding tour through Ireland should - if time allows - be combined with Scotland or even the entire U.K. An absolute must, at least, is the U.K. region of Northern Ireland.
We arrive in Larne after an Ultimate Scotland Experience and are excited to explore another fascinating island in this summer of 2023. It is on purpose that we avoid the big cities of Belfast and Dublin as we concentrate on the Northern and Western part using the Wild Atlantic Way as our main itinerary along the rugged coast. Needless to say, this is yet another memorable adventure, hence buckle up and join us in exploring the Gigantic (Northern) Ireland (3.7)
