Walled Towns of Ireland

The Pilgrim Paths of Ireland are a collection of ancient religious routes around the country which have documented claims to having been used by pilgrims since ancient times. Its objective is the development of a network of walking routes along medieval pilgrimage paths. The project aims to raise awareness of the different aspects of heritage, built and natural, encountered along the routes, while contributing to sustainable tourism and community development in each local area.

The Local Authority Museums Network dataset created by the Heritage Council.This dataset maps, and provides details for, the Local Authority-run County museums across Ireland.

This dataset displays the UNESCO World Heritage sites and Geoparks across the island of Ireland.

This dataset pinpoints national monuments around the country which are accessible to the public. The national monuments mapped on the website feature those at which the Office of Public Works maintain visitor services (for which there may be a charge) and those which have no formal visitor services on-site but which are accessible to the public.

This dataset displays locational information for all Ireland’s known Sheela-na-Gigs. It provides National Monuments Service descriptions for each where available. It maps original and present locations (as of March 2017) for each. It was created using publically available National Monuments Service open-data. This was augmented with images and information gathered from the museum sector and Sheela-na-Gig academics and enthusiasts.
