The North Ireland and Irish segments of EuroVelo 1 – Atlantic Coast Route follow a primarily coastal route of trails and roads, much of which is aligned with or to the popular Wild Atlantic Way (WAW) touring route. As such, EuroVelo 1 passes through or close to all Irish cities outside of Dublin: Galway, Limerick and Cork, as well as regional centres such as Letterkenny, Sligo, Tralee, etc. These cities, and many of the centres, are transport hubs with bus, train, taxi, and in some cases air transport available. In addition, large sections of the route are also served by scheduled public as well as private bus services, thereby providing visitors with accessible transport options.

Development status
  • Certified These sections were awarded the official EuroVelo Certification label, ensuring high-quality cycling conditions.They were surveyed in the field by EuroVelo Route Inspectors to respect minimum requirements for motorised traffic levels, surface quality, EuroVelo signage, and access to services as defined by the European Certification Standard (ECS) methodology. EuroVelo Certified routes are the best options for beginners!
  • Developed + Signed These sections offer generally good cycling conditions, with limited motorised traffic, rideable surfaces, and EuroVelo signs along the route. Developed routes with signs are suitable for most cyclists. However, short stretches with lower-quality conditions may occur, and it is recommended to bring a map or navigation app as signs can have defects.
  • Developed + Not Signed These sections offer generally good cycling conditions, with limited motorised traffic and rideable surfaces, but without EuroVelo signs. Developed routes without signs are suitable for most cyclists. However, short stretches with lower-quality conditions may occur, and it is warmly recommended to bring a map or navigation app.
  • Partially Developed + Signed Cycling is possible here, but conditions vary. Some stretches may have high motorised traffic or poor surfaces, even though EuroVelo signs are in place. Partially developed routes with signs are suitable for experienced cyclists only, and it is recommended to bring a map or navigation app and check national/regional websites for more information. ECF and National EuroVelo Coordination Centres are working on improvements.

Wild Atlantic Way

The Wild Atlantic Way (WAW) is a signposted tourism route on the west coast of Ireland It showcases the coast and includes attractive location along the way know as ‘Discovery Points’. While some cyclists follow the route unlike EuroVelo 1 – Atlantic Coast Route the WAW was not specifically designed or intended for use by cycle tourists. Both routes visit many of the same locations but not always using the same route. While the WAW often follows a route most suitable for driving between two locations, the EuroVelo route may follow a different route on very small roads with little or no motor traffic. In this context EuroVelo 1 could be considered as the cycling alternative to the WAW route. The link to the WAW website is provided here to allow EuroVelo 1 users to see the WAW route and to determine if they would like to deviate from the route and follow the WAW to locations that are not visited by EuroVelo 1.
