The Green Road, Weaving Through the Irish Landscape
Written by Darren McLoughlin
Ireland's Green Roads Weaving Through the Countryside
The green roads or lanes of Ireland are impressive but can often be quite hard to find.
They are unlike other small country roads in Ireland, they don't have a metalled surface, they weave between fields through the Irish landscape but often have become disused or paved over. These green roads often would have been routes between townlands, forming part of the cultural landscape of Ireland.
Today they are important for wildlife, with hedgerows providing wildlife cover, berries and seeds for winter and with limited traffic - usually walkers, cows and horses are the only passers-by now.
Green roads give character to an area and provide a link to our past as well as being incredibly scenic.
