- Is Ireland van friendly?
- Can you drive the Wild Atlantic Way with a motorhome?
- Is Ireland dog friendly?
- How long do you need to drive the Wild Atlantic Way?
​
These are all common questions I've been asked about Ireland, and at the recent NEC Camping, Caravan and Motorhome show I was on stage every day sharing these answers.
It was lovely to meet so many of you, but I know not everyone was able to attend the show so, as promised, here's the speech that I gave on stage about touring the Wild Atlantic Way with a motorhome and tips to help you plan your trip.
I hope you find it useful! (I've also added in loads more photos and a few extra Ireland vanlife tips which I didn't have time to share in the main talk.)

ABOUT WANDERING BIRD
In 2018, I quit my job as an air traffic controller to travel in a van. That's adulting, right?
Since then, I've spent most of my time living in a motorhome, touring the UK and Europe, sometimes with my husband, sometimes with my daughter and sometimes enjoying solo female vanlife (well, with my dog, Mac!)
Wandering Bird was created to help motorhomers and campervanners make the most of their time on the road.
We share weekly tips, tricks and reviews to encourage and inspire your next adventure, whether you're a complete motorhoming beginner, or a more experienced owner looking for new ideas or places to visit.
🔔 So, if you’re interested in motorhomes or campervans and want to make the most of your time on the road, hit SUBSCRIBE and the bell to get our weekly videos.
You can also get access to our free resource library, full of motorhoming checklists, road trip itineraries, van life tips and more. Here's the link: wandering-bird.ck.page/95373a...

[@Johndoe10007]

That car park below the lama farm is a car park looking over the five finger strand beach 🏝️ . Believe it or believe it not but I was in that carpark today . I have a house in Malin head only a few miles away 😊

Kate, great vlog of a summary of the NAW. We have visited NI twice in our MH and loved it.

[@NeilF24]

We did almost exactly the same trip last May into June for 5 weeks, absolutely fantastic. We were watching your brilliant videos on route, they were a great help, thank you.

[@nocsucou]

I'm just planning a 2 week trip to the north half of Ireland in our swift 644. The videos have helped a lot. Thank you!!!

[@eamonnobrien1410]

Great video thanks

[@WanderingBird]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@sandracampbell4012]

As always a fantastic very informative vlog, thank you. We've been following you for a while now and have just retired and finally picking up our first motorhome in 2 weeks! Going to be a huge learning curve after having a VW T5 for 4 years! The Wild Atlantic way is definitely on our list. Thanks again Kat. x x x x

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

Superb explanation of your tour I will definitely use your guide. I will after zigzag because I film famous graves but this gives me a very good feel of the place I have subscribed thank you.

[@barbarahanly4257]

Yes rubbish is a big problem in Ireland right now :( we need more public bins!!

[@brightgreencarrot]

Great video, thanks.

[@runawayrowells]

Some great tips there Kat, you've definitely given us confidence to head over there after we finish Scotland. Thank you ❤

[@WanderingBird]

Glad it was helpful!

[@CLdriver1960]

Former ATC? Respect! I recently retired from the other end of those transmissions 😜 I’ve been to most continents on this planet, yet saw very little of my own. I’m know exploring via campervan, and thoroughly enjoying it. Regards from Canada! 🇨🇦

[@WanderingBird]

Hi! And Canada has been on my bucket list for YEARS. Must get there soon 💖

[@stuchristie8798]

Another interesting and informative video. Thank-you.

[@sandsmarine2791]

Very informative video 👌👏👏

[@mikegagg]

Very useful as ever. Heading over in Sep. Thanks

[@WanderingBird]

Glad it was helpful!

[@RobertSmith-cv1cu]

Very helpful

[@WanderingBird]

Glad it helped

[@anthonybrook9173]

Very informative. I have a ferry booked for 9th September from Holyhead to Dublin and was planning to stay 11 nights but only going as far North as Sligo staying only one night on each place. Is this long enough? Also our dog is on raw food and have been told that we can't take that with us as not met is allowed to be taken to Ireland from UK? Never wild camped before so a little unsure about it. Booked a site in Dungarvan for our first night.

[@user-sg8iz3cy7v]

Thank you information very useful however re dog does it mean we have the same rules as abroad regarding our fury friend .

[@nickhickton2395]

Hi ! Going to Ireland in a few weeks to see the WAW, do you happen to know if it's easy to find Calor Gas cylinders in Ireland ? Thanks !

[@tapsahuovinen3886]

Hi Kate, you mentioned the laundries. Do they use fragrance free detergents? I am highly sensitive to perfumes/fragrance.

[@WanderingBird]

I recommend using your own if you’re that sensitive. I’m not sure what they use.

[@richardwatts9093]

Did your dog need a passport / vaccinations etc and if so did you get them done in England ❤❤

[@DaveStone007]

Don’t you mean Clockwise? Anti Clockwise would have cliff edges jutting out on the left hand side of the road you would be driving on. You did the trip Clockwise….

[@WanderingBird]

You mean the Ring of Kerry? I recommend doing that anti-clockwise, which is what I did.

[@Johndoe10007]

In the Republic of Ireland 🇮🇪 people pay a lot less for property taxes or property rates so because of this a people don’t get their rubbish collected by the councils . The rubbish is collected by private company’s that you pay per bin , because of the councils don’t have many free public waste bins 🗑️ for fear of people filling them up because they don’t want to pay for household waste disposal ….. so if you’re in a Motorhome you can buy a big black bag for say 5 euro and if you put your waste it in a private company will collect it on the side of the roads … it’s labelled as bag paid for waste already

[@jobeaumont6621]

Did you have to be fingerprinted on entry to Ireland??
