EXPLORE IRELAND
Thank you so much for all your support. I honestly can’t explain how much it means to me. This is very much a one woman show, built on a lot of passion (and more late nights than I’d like to admit).
I have built these Google Maps Pins over the years, listing my favourite hidden gems, key attractions and some pull-ins most drive straight past.
And, I'm so glad they’ve found you!
Access to these pins is completely free, however, a few readers asked about leaving a small thank-you tip to say thanks for the help with planning their trip.
I’d really appreciate it if you didn’t share this URL around. If friends or family would like access, please send them to my email list sign-up page so they can get their own copy.
Thanks again for being here, and enjoy exploring Ireland 💚
⚠️ Limited time access ⚠️
Once you save the pins to your Google account, they should stay there, but long term access can’t be guaranteed.

How to save the pins to your personal Google Maps

The pins are organised into categories by area. You’ll see an example of this in the Donegal pins screenshot, which shows what the lists look like once they’re saved correctly.
To save the pins to your own Google Maps:
- Make sure you’re logged into your Google account
- Open one of the pin lists (for example, the Donegal list)
- Click the + Save button at the top of the list
- The list will then appear in your Google Maps under Saved
On desktop:
To make sure all pins load in each list, keep scrolling right to the bottom until everything appears.
A quick note on coverage
These maps don’t include every single place in Ireland.
There are locations I’ve shared in reels or videos that aren’t added yet.
I’ll continue updating the pins over time, and as far as I’m aware, any lists you’ve saved should update automatically when new pins are added.
