Ireland
Here's some Irish advice from an Irishman who's toured Ireland a few times.
Suggest from your neck of the woods Fishguard Rosslare ferry - turn left off the ferry and keep going keeping the sea to your left. No seriously.
Rosslare to Cork via Waterford and join the Wild Atlantic Way at Cork.

When you finish in WAW in Derry join the Causeway Coast Route round to Belfast taking the Antrim Coast Road (including a bit of the NW200 road race route and Joey's Memorial and Bar is a must)
Causeway Coastal Route
Then pick up the East Coast Tourist route back through the Wicklow Mountains to Wexford and Rosslare.

A word of caution. The Wild Atlantic Way is as long as the coast of Norway. Don't be fooled by the distances. They are all Irish Miles! so if you are short of time you will have to be realistic on what you can achieve.
Try taking a few of the short ferry hops across the Loughs. The Shannon ferry at Tarbert. The Swilly Ferry at Rathmullen. The Foyle Ferry at Greencastle. The Strangford Ferry at Portaferry. They all add to the experience.
A month should do it justice. PM me if you want any more suggestions. Regards Victor
