Tour Overview

Welcome to Road Trip: Ireland, Cultural Roadmapp's triple-award-winning audio tour and the first in a 4-part series on Ireland's gorgeous 1500-mile Wild Atlantic Way driving route.

Designed specifically for motorists, this audio tour will immerse you in the astonishing culture and heritage of one of Ireland’s most beautiful counties—Clare.​

As you approach a designated town or landmark, the app's GPS and geo-fencing technology will automatically play a mini 'audio documentary', offering a fascinating cultural and historical context to the landscape.

Along the way, you’ll hear:

  • enchanting interviews with charismatic cultural experts and locals
  • world-class music, literary, and dramatic performances
  • storytelling and folklore
  • unvarnished humour
  • narration by acclaimed Irish actors Iarlaith O'Conaire and Geraldine Hughes

The app features 11 audio stops, which can be experienced going north or south along the Wild Atlantic Way, or in any order, wherever you happen to be driving. We recommend you allocate at least 2 days to enjoy the tour, and Clare, to the fullest.
