A companion for
the county tops.

Find a place to go. Make a day of it. Remember how it felt.

By Niall O’Rourke

I created this independent companion to help people explore the highest points of Ireland’s 32 traditional counties and discover my Irish County High Points logbook. The site brings together original summaries, links to specialist and official sources, and a free checklist you can keep in your browser.

A book to hold onto the day

The printed journal is for your memories: the times, distance, weather, company and notes you want to keep. You can inspect authentic selected pages before following the Amazon link. I am the book’s author; a purchase may earn me an author royalty.

Explore with care

This is an independent discovery and planning website, with no claimed affiliation to tourism bodies, landowners or a challenge-certification organisation. County profiles are not route instructions. Check current sources and choose walks that fit your experience and the day’s conditions.
