FYI the term and idea 'Wild Atlantic Way' was conceived by the Irish tourist board in 2014. https://www.failteireland.ie/Footer/Media-Centre/Minister-Ring-officially-launches-Wild-Atlantic-Wa.aspx

Interesting! I had thought the term had been around a lot longer.

Yes, it's just a made up term but it has been hugely successful. They also made up 'The Ancient east' for the other side of the country but it wasn't near as popular.

It's definitely been more recognisable than the Causeway Coastal Route in Northern Ireland that's for sure.
