The Ordnance
Survey Discovery Maps of Ireland are probably the best detailed printed
maps of Ireland that you can buy. They are available from the Ordnance
Survey online
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. Sat Nav is good if you know where you are going - but
a detailed paper map is great for finding interesting places.
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 Ordnance
Survey shop
