Road trip route to rival most scenic in the world

PLANS are being drawn up for an “end-of-the-world” drive along our Atlantic coastline to rival the most scenic road trips around the globe.

Tourism chiefs are working on a link-up of existing routes from Donegal’s dizzying Slieve League sea cliffs to the wilds of West Cork to draw in thrill-seeking motorists from overseas.

The trail will be pitched at continental Europeans and US visitors in particular as the “authentic Irish experience” on a self-drive journey to match famous drives such as California’s Pacific Coast Highway or Australia’s Great Ocean Road.
