HeritageMaps.ie is the free one-stop-shop for Irelands built, cultural and natural heritage data. In map-form, you can explore a vast range of Ireland's heritage including, pilgrim paths, burial grounds, bat landscapes, maritime collections & walled towns, all accessible from your phone, tablet or desktop. Find museums, archaeological sites and little-known national monuments in your area. Understand the habitats and ecosystems in your town and county, or wonder at the diversity of insects and wildlife nationwide. HeritageMaps.ie has been developed by the Heritage Council, working with local authorities, the National Biodiversity Data Centre and Compass Informatics to bring this to you. HeritageMaps.ie is free to use and designed to be instinctive and user-friendly. Offering an incredible range of data - most of which has never been publicly available before - all of our data has been created for government departments, agencies and local authorities. HeritageMaps.ie can be used to create customized maps, measure area and distance, identify points of interest and study local flora and fauna, as well as many other uses, both recreational and research-based. HeritageMaps.ie offers a unique perspective on our heritage, building up national coverage of heritage datasets from local authority sources as well as using existing national datasets. It uses web services to access live data where possible, increasing data reliability. Users can create cross-disciplinary views from hundreds of datasets - crossing over administrative boundaries, subject boundaries, and the land-sea boundary.
