About This Site
Welcome to www.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.
We have simultaneously set out to explore Ireland by Sectors (e.g. East & Southeast, Midlands & “Midwest” etc.), providing information on the ByRoutes and highlights of each area, which can also be found under provinces & counties, with data about each, while Ireland by Nature & Design details the country’s physical geography, coastline & islands, mountains, plains & bogs, natural history (flora & fauna), parks & gardens, main cities & towns, and architecture.
Our place descriptions will be linked to information on the relevant people, history & lore. These pages should make for fascinating reading in their own right.
Newcomers will find introductory information and useful tips about various aspects of sojourning in Ireland.
We shall 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.
