Ireland & Northern Ireland Visitor’s Guide — National Geographic Wall Map (1981)

Your doorway to an island of story and song. Published in April 1981, this richly detailed Visitor’s Guide to Ireland & Northern Ireland highlights historic sites, charming towns, and curious facts across both jurisdictions—from windswept coasts and green valleys to monastic ruins and lively city streets. Designed with National Geographic’s elegant cartography, it commands a wall from across the room and rewards close study at arm’s length.

Issued as a companion to “Historic Ireland” and three feature articles, it’s equal parts travel inspiration and cultural primer—perfect for planning, daydreaming, and discovery.

More Than a Map – A Testament to Place

This isn’t just wall art—it’s a frame for understanding the land, history, and living culture of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Wayfinding detail pairs with concise notes to reveal landscapes shaped by saints and scholars, castles and coastlines. Ideal for travellers, educators, genealogists, designers, and collectors, it pairs beautifully with other National Geographic maps of the British–Irish Isles.

Hang it in studios, libraries, classrooms, museums, offices, or at home to invite reflection, study, and conversation.
