Welcome to irelandbyways.com. If you are interested in Ireland’s landscape(s), culture(s), and particularly in Irish history at both national and local level, this website is for you, whether you are resident on the island or a visitor.  We hope you will gain real insights into the island’s natural and cultural heritage.

Our ByRoutes across Ireland’s varied terrains describe historic, scenic and atmospheric locations off the beaten track, with fresh takes on the country’s most famous landmarks and suggestions for worthwhile detours.

In addition, we describe Ireland’s zones, provinces & counties  and regions, and the country’s physical geography (mountains, lakes & rivers, bogs & plains, offshore islands) and natural history.

Our place descriptions are linked to information on the relevant people, history  & lore. These pages make for fascinating reading in their own right.

Newcomers  will find introductory information and useful tips about various aspects of sojourning in Ireland. We also intend to provide full details for a range of accommodation, restaurants etc.  in each area, which we hope will be of use to foreign visitors and Irish excursionists alike. 

This website is an ongoing voluntary project; your patience is requested!

It is hoped to accept items from contributors in the future.
