Stunning scenery, fascinating history, traditional crafts, interesting people - a great look at Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way. Thank you, Simon, Charlotte and Douglas.
Hi Simon, you've managed to pack a lot in! Ireland is magical - that's why I moved here 18 years ago (I remember watching your videos back then!) and did not have a day of regret :)
Good effort Simon. This is only scratching the surface of course as there are so many places I visited last year that I had not been to before in the many years visiting Donegal. The Wild Atlantic Way is great branding for some truly awesome coastline drives, stunning shorelines and beaches and quality Irish pubs. I recommend Rathmullan House, The Travellers Inn Milford and Rusty Oven Dunfanaghy for eating out. That twist back road Simon used is on the road to Fanad, Ballymastocker Beach. Ards forest park and Errigal are must dos. Hire bikes well in advance at Glenveagh.
Brilliant documentary, Simon! Makes me really eager to return and explore more of Ireland. From Northern Ireland to the Republic, it's one beautiful island with very lovely people and an amazingly rich history. Much love from Nigeria 🇳🇬
Regarding the Gaeltacht... the Irish speaking regions. There is a lot of nonsense spoken about this. People fluent in English going on about how Irish is their first language. Here's the truth. I've been to many of these regions on multiple occasions, and I have 'never'... I'll repeat that, because it's an important word... 'never' heard a conversation being had in Irish. Based on my experience, you're more likely to overhear a conversation in Polish than Irish in the Gaeltacht.
im calling b-shit on that comment. my daughter and i ( i am irish she has learned some irish via duoling0) were in donegal in adara and glen colmcille area /and ordered our meal in irish and had some chat in irish with the waitress, in a cafe where others spoke in irish, we were travelling donegal for a few days adn stayed in the central hotel, in the bar across the road many groups were speaking irish while in conversation.. you sure you were in ireland or are you just making stuff up as even in dublin you can be in a pub with people speaking irish nearby. In areas in west belfast you have to speak irish in the shops and pubs i hope your hearing improves
Not going to say your misrepresenting, but I can only comment on my own personal experience. I've been to Westport and Belmullet (my late uncles favourite place), and not heard it.@@sandy57ful1

Please don’t forget Heinrich Böll

Come out from under your rock
You'll hear it frequently on the Arran islands.
It's the main language 1/2 hour from where I live, in Westport Mayo. The Belmullet peninsular is also strongly Irish speaking....
