Infographic: The World’s Longest Coastal Driving Route, By The Numbers

What's the longest road trip you've taken? 11 hours? 12? Did you plan your route to minimize pit stops or were you intent on seeing every roadside attraction along the way, from the world's largest ball of twine to the amazing Mystery Spot?

If you're the second type of road warrior, one who sees the road trip as a journey and not just a destination, the gauntlet has been thrown down.

Ireland's "Wild Atlantic Way" is a gorgeous 1,553-mile drive down the coast running from Inishowen, County Donegal, to Kinsale, County Cork. Along the way you'll see some of the most ravishing coastline Ireland has to offer and hundreds of cultural attractions and activities. We'd tell you more about one of National Geographic's 'Best Spring Trips 2014,' but this inforgraphic from Killarney Hotels pretty much has everything you need to know.
