Which scenic drives and viewpoints work well when walking must be minimal?
The drives do the work on these routes, and the viewpoints are built for a stop, not a hike. The Wild Atlantic Way marks its Discovery Points with parking beside the road, and on the Ring of Kerry places such as Ladies View and the Coomakista viewpoint give you the full picture within a few level steps of the car. The Sky Road above Clifden, the Antrim Coast Road and the Sally Gap drive through the Wicklow Mountains all deliver their views from laybys and car parks. Choose accommodation and lunch stops in the towns on the route rather than adding walks between them. Our scenic drives guide grades the main routes, and a clear morning is worth more than an extra stop.
