The Wild Atlantic Way has been voted the world's second most 'Instagrammed' road trip.

A study by used car retailer Cinch examined the 40 most iconic driving routes across six continents and whittled them down to the top five, which have accumulated the highest number of photos posted on Instagram.

The Wild Atlantic Way spans from Donegal to Cork and has 1.9 million mentions on Instagram, mostly containing images of the breathtaking coastline.

The world's longest defined coastal route spans 2600km and takes days to complete, passing through nine counties and three provinces. It is split up into 14 stages.

It also has a 4.8-star TripAdvisor rating and was only beaten to the top spot by Route 66 in the US.
