Bartholomew Quarter-inch maps Ireland

[Wardy]

I have three Barts quarter-inch contoured maps: 2 Dublin-Roscommon/ 3 Wexford-Tipperary / 5 Galway-Mayo available for cost of postage & packing (£2.36 2nd class) if anyone is interested. Covers are rubbed, slightly frayed at edges and have a biro scribble on back, but maps are in very good, clean condition.

They are basically road maps at a scale of 4 miles to 1 inch. I used them during a cycle tour of south-west Ireland back in the 70's. They show a wealth of detail including roads and tracks, spot heights, contour shading, youth hostels etc. Too good to throw away.

Not much different to to todays maps, just a different style due to the printers style. Road numbers are the same, however they will not show the "motorways" built since. Newer more detailed maps are available from the Irish OS.

And yes it, Ireland, has changed.
