Best campervan routes around Ireland
The Wild Atlantic Way
When you have a motorhome for hire in Ireland and want to go on a long drive, one of the best options is the world’s longest coastal touring route – The Wild Atlantic Way. This route involves 2,500km of roads that offer a stunning view of the diverse scenery of Ireland, from dramatic coastlines to wild landscapes and rugged seascapes. The stretch of roads passes through nine different countries – Donegal, Leitrim, Sligo, Mayo, Galway, Clare, Limerick, Kerry and Cork. One word of caution when driving along any section of this route is that as the roads are pretty narrow and the winds can be rough, you need to drive a little slower and plan accordingly because there will be many points where you are behind cattle, horse and carts, tractors and cyclists.
The Causeway Coastal Route
If you are planning to head north during your trip when you rent a campervan in Ireland, one route you should consider taking is the Causeway Coastal Route. This route starts in Belfast City and finishes in Derry. It follows the dramatic and beautiful coast of Northern Ireland through the nine stunning Glens of Antrim to reach the legendary Giant’s Causeway. Completing this route takes around 3 to 5 days, covering 185km properly. You can stop off at spots like Murlough Bay, the Torr Head Scenic Rout, and many beaches along the way to the Causeway.
Traffic Rules in Ireland
You always drive on the left-hand side of the road in Ireland
Give way to vehicles from the right and turn left on entering a roundabout
Speed limits are measured in kilometres/hour, not miles an hour
Unless otherwise stated, the speed limit is 50km/hr when driving in built-up areas, 80km/hr on local and regional roads, 100km/hr on all national highways and 120km/hr driving on motorways. You should always look for signs indicating the speed because you could be fined 80 euros on the spot and given three penalty points on your licence.
The traffic light sequence is slightly different in Ireland compared to other European countries. Red means stop, and immediately after the red light is Green, which means go. However, the Amber light comes on before the red to warn drivers to stop unless they can safely do so.
