The Ordnance Survey
Discovery Maps of Ireland are probably the best detailed printed maps
of Ireland that you can buy. They are available from Amazon.
Just click on the Irish County of your choice on the menus at the
side to see the coverage area of each map. Many
of the larger Irish counties are covered by more than one map.
The Ordnance Survey
map shop is very reasonably priced and they deliver all over the world
for a flat rate - the same delivery price for multiple maps. They sometimes
offer a good discount when you spend over a certain amount.
The maps are to a scale of 1:50,000 - which provides enough detail
to see even the individual houses in rural areas !
Walking In Ireland ? These maps are great for walking or hill climbing.
Cycling in Ireland
? Cyclists will also find the detailed maps really useful - to find
those off the beaten track places.
Family History and Genealogy: These detailed maps are a great companion
to your family tree search. You can actually see the area where your ancestors
came from. You will be able to find nearby townland and village names
that will assist you in your searches.
Touring by Car: The maps are also great if you are touring Ireland
by car. All classes of minor roads and tracks are shown on these maps
in great detail
Drivers will
also need at least one large scale road map that shows the major towns
and roads - to get you from one part of Ireland to another.
These are available too on the Amazon
site.
