The Organisation: The Irish Republican Brotherhood 1914-1924

Lonely Planet's Ireland is our most comprehensive guide that extensively covers all the country has to offer, with recommendations for both popular and lesser-known experiences. Drive the Ring of Kerry, enjoy a pint in a traditional pub and marvel at the otherworldly Burren; all with your trusted travel companion.

By turning off the main highway and discovering old routes, some of which have been travelled for thousands of years, you will see Ireland in an entirely different way. Follow the Old Road will take you on a tour of a variety of pathways from great river roads to lost railways.

Insects, birds, bats, foxes, badgers, shrews. These beautiful and fascinating creatures need somewhere to live, as their own natural habitats become more and more endangered. Learn how to make your space - from a windowbox to a suburban garden to a farm - inviting to nature. And learn all about Ireland's wildlife, from tiny plants to large mammals.
