 The plans in tins volume are the forecast of the 
 * ' Contoi;r " Road Book of Ireland, which has now been 
 in hands for so long. The work of surveying has proved 
 fairly slow, and as another year may elapse before it can 
 be completed, the present volume, covering the leading 
 roads, has l^een issued first. 
 
 This graphic method of showing the roads, so that the 
 reader can see beforehand exactly what it is like, has 
 been alread}' completed for England and Scotland. 
 
 This woi'k has been compiled from entirely original 
 •soiii'ces. The Description is obtained personally by the 
 writer in surveying the country, and the utmost care is 
 taken to ensure accuracy. The Measurements are not 
 copied from any other book, but are the actual distances 
 along the present line of road. 
 
 The author's thanks are due to those gentlemen who 
 have so kindly helped at various stages, and especially to 
 the County Surveyors, who have lent every assistance. 
 
THE 
 
 "Contour" Eoad Books 
 
 By Harry R. G. Inglis. 
 
 500 Maps and Plans in each Volume. 
 
 " Absolutely accurate." — Cycling. 
 
 "The 'Contour' Road Book more nearly approaches the ideal 
 road guide for wheelmen than any which has yet been produced 
 for this class of traveller." — The Field. 
 
 These profile plans, giving a miniature representation 
 of the road, enable one to see beforehand exactly what 
 it is like, and make a long description unnecessary, so that 
 what would otherwise fill a large and bulky book is con- 
 densed into the size of a pocket volume. The descriptive 
 matter and measurements are so arranged that they are 
 particularly easy of reference. 
 
 Appended to each Plan is a "Description" of the road. 
 The Gradient of each hill is stated in figures, leaving no 
 room for doubt how far hills are dangerous or not. The 
 Measurements are not copied from any old or modern 
 Road Book, but give actual measurements that can be 
 depended on, while the Principal Objects of Interest on 
 the Route, and Hotels or Inns, are duly noted. 
 
 Everything has been condensed to occupy as little space 
 as possible, consistent with clearness.

General Notes. 
 
 The leading Tourist Districts are : — Co. Wicklow; the Black- 
 water near Yougbal ; Killarney, including Co. Kerry; Tlie Clare 
 coast; Coniiemai-a anel Achill, Donegal; the Antrim coast (includ- 
 ing the Giants' Causeway; and the Mourne Mountains. It will 
 thus be noticed that nearly all the scenery is scarcely ever more 
 than a few miles from the coast line. The inland parts — mostly 
 undulating agricultural land or bog — are quite uninterestiiog, ex- 
 cept where Architectural relics, lough, or river, lend chai'ni to an 
 otherwise featureless si)()t. 
 
 In nearly every district the mountains rise fairly abruptly from 
 the surrounding country, and in consequence the scenery at many 
 points is bold and striking. As regards coast cliff scenery, Ireland 
 easily takes the lead, for the mountain ranges beaiing the brunt 
 of the Atlantic waves have two cliffs each about 2000 feet high — 
 Croaghaun and Slieve League — ranking next to those in Norway 
 for magnificence, while the cliffs of Moher are as straight and 
 nnich higher than any in Cornwall. The Giants' Causeway itself 
 is disapjiointing, but the cliffs beside it are very tine. 
 
 One feature in tlie scenery is the " Gap" or pass. Most of these 
 are a clear-cut V, like a railway cutting, aci-oss a range of hills, 
 The Devil's Glen (Co. Wicklow), is about the most i)erfect example. 
 
 One very interesting feature is the number of old buildings 
 scattered all over the country, such as the Hound Toweis — plainly 
 a primitive form of steeple — of which Glendaloiigh and Antrim 
 show perfect specimens ; Castles, as Dunluce, Cailingford, or Kil- 
 kenny; Abbej's, such as Holycross; exquisitely carved Crosses of 
 the type of those at Monaster! )oice or Kells; or groups of Ecclesi- 
 astical Buildings, as those at Glendalough, on the Rock of Cashel, 
 or at Clonmacnoise. In Dublin there are quite a number of fine 
 buildings, such as the Cathedrals, Custom House, tlie Bank, &c. 
 
 At the present moment hardly any county can be sr.id to have 
 the pre-eminence in regard to superiority of roads. 'Jhe average 
 main roatl is very bumpy wherever there is hea\y traffic, and weie 
 it not that footpath ridi.ig is sympathetically looked on by the 
 Constabulary, the tourist would have a bad time of it in many 
 districts. In Phoenix Park, Dublin, the cyclist may ride on the 
 footpaths. 
 
 Irish time is 25 minirtes later than Greenwich Time, but in 
 cross-channel telegrams the latter is used.

ROYAL ROAD BOOK OF IRELAND. 
 
 Suggested Tours in Ireland. 
 
 By dividing the dixfance to suit the visual days' run, the tourist 
 can reckon ho/'' long each toitr vill take: to accom2^lish. 
 
 A tour riglit round Ireland, nmcli as outlined in the coast 
 sections of the following maps, is between 1,200 and 1,400 miles. 
 
 A tour round the southern half (south of Dublin and Galvvaj) 
 is 7S0 miles; the northern half is S70 miles. 
 
 The average tourist will, however, be more inclined to do one 
 district at a time ; and the following foui' maps will be fovmd to 
 make an excellent basis fi-om which to jilan a tour. 
 
 A further reference to the routes in this volume or to Mecredy's 
 excellent Road lioolcs will be found veiy helijful. 
 
 The heavy cross lines show where accomn\odation is to be had. 
 
 The round illustrated on the map is 513rii., but bj' taking the 
 train from Belfa£,t to Larne, Coleraine to Derry, Enniskillen to 
 Dundalk, and Newcastle to Belfast, the less interesting parts are 
 cut out, and the distance reduced to 340m. 
 
 The leading attractions of this district are between the fcHowing 
 points : Larne and Portrush ; Derry (round Donegal) and Bundoran, 
 and then to Enniskillen ; Dundalk, Bostrevor, and Newcastle. 
 Plenty of t'jne should be allowed to do Glenarifl", Carrick-a-vede, 
 the Giants' Causeway and cliffs ; Portrush ; Derry and the Grianan ; 
 Dunfanaghy and Horn Head; and Slieve I-eague, near K illy begs. 
 The other parts are well seen from the road. 
 
 From Dublin to Belfast, round Ulster, and back by Cavan is(i00m. 
 
 From Dublin to Belfast via the coast sections of Maps 1 and 
 2 and back by Newry and the Boyne Valley, &c., makes a tour 
 of 300m. 
 
r--

 2. A Tour in Wicklow, Etc. 
 
 The tourist in this district should spend the longer period in 
 Co. "Wicklow by making as headquarters one of the many places 
 between Arklow and Dublin, and taking easy journeys thi-ough 
 the district. 
 
 Visit in turn, in a series of routes as may be convenient. The 
 Scalp, Dargle Valley, Powerscourt, Bray, Kingstown, Killiney, 
 Sugarloaf, Roundwood, Glendalough, Wicklow, Greystones, Glen 
 of the Downs, &c., and finish off with the Vale of Ovoca. 
 Then, Avorking southward, to Enniscorthy, AVexford, New Ross, 
 or Duncannon, and, vai-^ing the journey by a sail in the steamer 
 to Waterford, return by Kilkenny and Carlow to Dublin. The 
 northward trip should be taken leisurely, by the coast, visiting 
 Howth, Malahide, Swords, Skerries, Drogheda, Monasterboice, 
 the Boyne Valley, Navan, Kells, and back to Dublin via Bective 
 Abbey. 
 
 The total distance planned out below is 430m., of which the 
 southern section is about 300m. and tlie noi-thern 130m.

 3. A Tour in Killarney District. 
 
 In this part the centre of attraction is the Killarney and 
 Kenniare district, and nntil it is reached there is little to detain 
 the tourist. Residence should be taken iip at some Hotel, and 
 the excursions on the lakes, &c., should be^ joined. After that 
 the Waterville peninsula, Kenniare, Glengarriff, Incliigeeleah, and 
 Blarney Castle should be viaited, and after passing through 
 <Jork, the route might be diversified by a sail in Queenstown 
 Harbour, and also from Youghal to Cappoquin; then after in- 
 specting the Rock of Cashel and Holycross Abbey, back to 
 Maryborougli. 
 
 From Maryborough this route is 400m.; from Dublin iJOOm.; 
 from I.imerick, ending at Thurles, 380m.; and from Killarney, 
 •ending at Thurles, 295m. 
 
 At Killarney there is a short level run to the Lake at Ross 
 Castle. The tourist should also follow the road to the Upper 
 Tiake, then walk up to the Mulgrave Barracks for the sake of 
 the view. 
 
 10 
 
4. A Tour in the West. 
 
 There is a good variety of scenery in this Tour. Commencing 
 say at Liraeiick, there is first the Lower Shannon scenery; Clai-e 
 Coast clitfs; Conneiuara with its fine mountains; Acbill Island 
 with its splendid clilf; Sligo, Glencar Lough, and Lough Gill; 
 and finally the River Shannon, a sail down which from Roosky 
 or Lanesborough to Kill aloe, and then by road to Limerick, pro- 
 vides a singularly agi-eeable tour. The portions that can well be 
 omitted are from Ballyvaughan to Galway (31m.), Galway to 
 Recess (35ni.), and from Sligo to Roosky (47m.). 
 
 The total distance (not counting the Shannon steamer), is 452m.; 
 or, deducting the parts that can be skipped, mentioned above, 
 340m. 
 
 The Steamer can always be taken between Tarbert and Kilrush, 
 but enquiries should be made for the sailings between Limerick, 
 Foynes, and Tarbert.

 T}ie above rates are the general fares, but many of the companies 
 have special arrangements. 
 
 Belfast and Northern Counties is 3d. uj) to 10 nule.s. 
 
 Dublin, Wicklow, and Wexford, Gd. between all stations. 
 
 Return Tickets by most lines at fare and half. 
 
 Some of the Railways issue tickets at single fare, including 
 cycle, from and to the larger towns, for stations within 30 i.niles 
 or so. See the Companies' Time Tables. 
 
 Lamplighting Tables. 
 
 There is no law requiring lamps on vehicles in Ireland except in 
 the following towns: Dublin, Belfast, Londondeiry, Cork, Watei'- 
 ford (and King's (bounty), but as bye-laws maj^ be put in force at 
 any time, these comjilete lists are therefore given for reference. 
 
 The time of sunset for each date varies from year to year; these 
 Tables are thei'efore not absolutely exact, but give an average 
 which is never more than a few minutes out, on any date. 
 
 To Use the Tables. — Find the district re(iuired on the li.^t 
 below and add or subtract the time allowance at the column 
 named and opposite the required date. For example, the average 
 time for lighting lamps at Londonderry on June '21 is obtained as 
 follows: " Londcmderry, add 4 minutes to column A," on June 21, 
 which is 9.34. The average hour for ligliting lamps is 9.3S p.m. 
 
 All the towns due North and South of Dublin do not require to 
 .add any minutes to the lettered column, but Donaghadee being 
 East of that line is 3 minutes sooner (deduct 3 min.), while Valentia 
 being West is 17 minutes latei- (add 17 min.). The allowance is 
 4 minutes for each degree of longitude.

 Explanations. 
 
 The line bordering the shaded portion of the Plan is a 
 facsimile of the profile of the Roiite, and is divided by vertical 
 lines into miles, and by horizontal lines into contours of 100 feet, 
 so that distances and heights are ascertained quickly. 
 
 The blocks show the positions of the villages and liouses, while 
 the signs are the road directions: — < lload Fork, forward 
 journey, > ditto reverse, + Cross Roads, ± Road Junction, fl 
 Bridge, y indicates a sharp turn, -||- level crossing. 
 
 The directions R (riglit), L (left), and C (centre) for the forward 
 journey are above the Road Tjine, those of the reverse, below. 
 
 The vertical scale has necessarily been enlarged out of strict pro- 
 portion, as otherwise the ordinary Gradients would almost have 
 been imperceptible. 
 
 Contractions :— 
 Bri.,.. .. Bridge. 
 Ch., .. .. Cluirch. 
 F.P., .. Footpath. 
 m., .. .. Mile or Miles. 
 M.S., . . Milestone. 
 
 Gradients.— 1 in 25; i.e., 1 foot of rise in 2'), is a fairly easy 
 hill, 1 in 20 is stiff, 1 in 15 is steep. Cyclists usually walk up a hill 
 of 1 in 17. A descent does not generally become dangerous till 
 it is ] in 15 and then only with a, sharp turn, but witli anything 
 steeper the danger increases. A little experience of one or two 
 hills will be a permanent guide. On nearly every hill the gradient 
 varies every few yai'ds. Those given here represent approximately 
 the general slope, and in most cases the maximum is given. 
 
 Milestones.— Some of these are Irish Miles and some Englisli. 
 but tliese are nearly all noted in the book. The Tourist will 
 find that Counties Dublin, Waterford, Cork, Antrim, Down, and 
 Armagh use English, but Donegal Irish Miles ; the other counties 
 either have both, or only one or two roads have Irish M.S. Donegal 
 is the only county in which there is an extensive Irish set. 
 
 Measurements.— The tabular form gives tlie distance from 
 any one point to another, the number below the one name and 
 opposite the other being the distance required. For clearness 
 the fui'longs have been put in the tables as iths. Places named in 
 brackets are off the road. Where the centre of a town is a little 
 off the main road, the through measurement of the table does 
 not include this. For example in Route 3, Dublin to Wicklow 
 is 31^ m. ; but if the main part of Bray is included the distance 
 
 will be : — 
 
 Dublin to Bray (Royal Hotel), .. .. 12^m. 
 Bray (Royal Hotel) to Wicklow, . . 19^m. 
 
 Total, .. .. 32m. 
 
 Hotels.— There is usually a good Hotel at those places marked 
 with a star (^) in the measurement tables, but in many other 
 places accommodation is to be had, though perhaps not with the 
 usual Tourist's requirements. In the more out of the way parts 
 the proprietor of the district store can generally provide accom- 
 modation, and in many places this is the " Hotel." 
 
 There has been a marked improvement in the Hotels within the 
 last few years.

 Description. — Although this road is frequently in fair 
 condition, it is usually bump}', uneven, and far from plea- 
 sant. At one or two points the surface is fair, but the 
 most of it is as described. Howth Hill is a favourite 
 resort, and commands fine views of Dublin Bay.

 3 Bubltn to IfiSrap anb Mtcl^low. 
 
 Description.— The best road out of Dublin. Altliouglt 
 the main road is by Blackrock (mostl}' paved), the route 
 b\- Stillorgan is exactly the same distance, and though a 
 trifle hilly, has splendid surface all the way (bj- Bray) to 
 Glen of the Downs. Thereafter it is a trifle bumpy, but 
 with occasional stretches of excellent svu'faxje. (F.P. almost 
 all the way after Bra}). 
 
 The most picturesque route to Bray is Route 7, by "The 
 Scalp ; " while the one b}' Killiney commands fine coast 
 views, but the nine miles of paving is a great drawback. 
 
 This road, avoiding the main part of Brav, is easier than 
 the road through that town direct to Kilmacanoge, and 
 also has the advantage of passing up a portion of tlie 
 prett}'^ Valley of the Dargle. The Glen of the Downs is 
 one of those "Gajjs" in the mountains peculiar to Ireland, 
 and is best ai^proached from the north.

 Description. — This favourite road is the same as Route 3 
 as far as Kilmacanoge, thence it is verj- steep (dangerous, 
 1 in 10) to summit, where the surface is very good for 
 two miles, then fair, with a tendency to be bump}', to Glen- 
 dalough. Surface above the average. 
 
 Splendid scenery on this route at the following places : 
 in the Rocky Valley above Kilmacanoge ; from the 
 shoulder of Great Sugarloaf, at about 5m. ; Vartry Reser- 
 voir, at Rountlwood ; and the unique spot, Glendalough

 5 Bubltn to Ikingstown (anb Bra^). 
 
 Description — Tram-lines and paving, mostly with mac- 
 adam sides as far as Dalkey. Thereafter it' is a better 
 road and with splendid surface, but with one steep and 
 dangerous hill between Sorrento and Killiney Station; 
 thence easy to Bray. The main street of Kingstown is 
 narrow and requires care, owing to the traffic. 
 
 The views of the Wicklow Coast, from the road high up 
 on the cliffs on Killiney Hill, are very fine.

 Description. — A very picturesque route. The road has 
 excellent surface on the long easy ascent to "The Scalp," 
 and has equally good surface on the descent to Enniskerry. 
 There is a dangerous hill in Enniskerry-, but it is short. 
 Thereafter it is fairly level, though rather bumpy to Bray. 
 "The Scalp,'" a narrow defile, is a spot well worth visiting. 
 Powerscourt waterfall is 4m. south of Enniskerry.

 round. From Dublin follow Route 9 to Hollywood Cross- 
 roads (or from Xaas follow an excellent road to the same 
 point) ; thence it is good at first, l)ut speedily becomes a 
 steei^ rough ascent and descent over to the next valley. 
 Another steep climb to "Wicklow Gai) summit follows (over 
 1500 feet), then an excellent but steep descent to Glen- 
 dalough. A fine mountain road, rather stiff to travel.

 Description. — One of the favourite roads from Dublin. 
 Paving as far as Terenure, whence the steam tram for 
 Poulaphuca runs alongside the road. 
 
 From Terenure the road is very bumpy at first, but after 
 Tallaght it quickly improves, and is exceptionally good on 
 the long gentle ascent (1 in 25) to Brittas Inn. At two 
 points the hill is somewhat stiff. The rest of the road is 
 remarkably easy— practically level -with F.P. to Poula- 
 phuca. At this point the bulk of the traffic ceases, and 
 the road thereafter is very smooth and level, with disused 
 F.P. to Baltinglass. Thereafter to Carlo w the road is 
 somewhat hilly, and has very fair surface, but there are 
 two dangerous hills of 1 in 12. 
 
 This is a prett}- route. Poulaphuca waterfall is a fine 
 cascade, and the valley is laid out with walks. The view 
 of Burton Hall, near Carlow, is a noteworthy feature. 
 Abbey ruin at Baltinglass.

22 • ROYAL ROAD BOOK OF IRELAND. 
 
 10 Dublin to IRaas anb Carloxw 
 
 Description.— The road is exceedingly bumpy foi' the 
 first tliree miles, but it soon improves, and is a very fair 
 road to Naas (with F.P.). Thereafter the road is fairly 
 good, but has one bad piece shortly after Naas for several 
 miles, to Kilcullen, when the surface again imjiroves, and 
 is in capital order all the way to Carlow. This is one of 
 the best main roads, though it is not all that could be 
 wished. The onh- hill of any consequence is a short one 
 at Kilcullen (1 in 13, but not dangerous). 
 
 The route possesses few interesting features excepting 
 the Round Tower at CUondalkin, the Abbey and Rath at 
 Naas, Old Kilcullen Ruins seen on the hill to the soutli of 
 the present village, the Monastery, Round Tower, and 
 Cross at Castledermot, and the Court House and Ecclesi- 
 astical Buildings at Carlow.

 12 Dublin to Btb^, 
 
 Description. — This route is the same as Route 10 as far 
 as Kilcullen, just beyond which it turns off to the right, — 
 an easy road, with very good surface all the wa}' to Athy. 
 The surface is in many jiarts exceedingl}' good, and quite 
 above the average. 
 
 The ruins of Old Kilcullen are noticeable above the 
 jjresent village. Ardscull Mote is also a striking feature. 
 At Athy there are the ruins of two Castles.

 13 Dublin to /nbarpborou^b. 
 
 Description. — This road is the main highway to Lim- 
 erick, and is an easy route, with only a few stiff hills 
 near NeAvbridge. 
 
 This is the same as Route 10 as far as Naas ; after which 
 it is an excellent undulating road to Newbridge, rather 
 indifferent and hilly through the open "Curragh," then 
 imjiroving again to Kildare. Thereafter the road becomes 
 easier, but has rather poor surface along the bog. From 
 Monasterevin the road is slightly undulating (with F.P. 
 most of the wa}") to Maryborough. 
 
 The portions of the road across the "Curragh," before 
 IMonasterevin, and at Great Heath are very much exposed, 
 and with a head wind are almost impracticable. 
 
 The route passes near the Round Tower of Clondalkin, 
 close to the military camps of the "Curragh," and Kil- 
 dare ; and past the ancient Cathedral and Round Tower 
 of Kildare. The Rock and Castle of Dunamase may con- 
 veniently be visited from ]Mary])orough.

 alongside the railway and canal to Enfield. From this 
 l)oint the surface is even better, and is in very fair order. 
 
 The countr}' is pretty near Lucan, but the more pic- 
 turesque route to that place is by the road along banks 
 of the Liffey, which, however, has a verj- dangerous hill 
 (1 in 10), well repaid hy the scenery. At Leixlip the 
 Salmon Leaj:) and Castle are the principal sights.

28 ROYAL ROAD BOOK OF IRFLAXJJ. 
 
 17 Dublin to Capaih 
 
 Description. — This route has rather a Inunin' surface 
 for the first 5in., but after Blanchardstowu it is lietter, 
 and has fair surface to Navan. From Xavan the road is 
 up and down, but witli very fair surfiice, to Kells, and 
 continues with excellent surface through Virginia to Cavan. 
 There is a more direct road froin Virginia via Balh'james- 
 duff, but after the latter place that road goes over some 
 hills, which are avoided by the leveller main road. 
 
 This is the main route to Enniskillen, Bundoran, and 
 Donegal. 
 
 The route passes the famous "Tara,"' the old royal resi- 
 dence of the Irish kings (now only a series of moun<ls), 
 Navan, and Kells with its old Crosses, Bound Tower, and 
 old Churches.

 after that it imj^roves considerably, but after Ashbourne 
 degenerates into a rutty and inferior road on account of 
 cart traffic, until nearing Slane, when the surface improves. 
 Thereafter, though hilly and with little traffic, the road is 
 well engineered, and a good single track can be picked in 
 the rouglier ]>arts. 
 
 A better road in general is Route 19 to Droghcda, thence

 22 2)roGf3eba to /IDonagF^am 
 
 Description. — Although this is not tlic direct mam road 
 from Dublin to Monaghan, yet this, with Route 19, forms 
 the best way. The surface is very fair though the road is 
 slightly hilly to Ardee, and thereafter is almost level with 
 very fair surface to Carrickmacross, after Avhicli it is a long, 
 imperceptible ascent, followed by a descent to Monaghan. 
 Some prefer the road by Ballybay, though it is much more 
 hilly. As far as Ardce the road jjasses through undulating- 
 country ; after that it is uninteresting.

 Mounds at Dowth and ISTewgrange, and Slane's Castle are 
 the leading attractions of this road.

 Description.— The surface on this road is uniformly 
 good, through Durrow to Urlingford and Littleton, after 
 which there is a short section very indifferent through the 
 bog, then very good again to Cashel. The continuation of 
 this route on to Tipperary is quite inferior, several of the 
 hills being rather steep (1 in 13). The main road to Cork 
 and Killarney turns off at Cashel to Cahir and Fermoy, 
 thence direct to Cork ; or to INIallow for Killarney. 
 
 The scenery in this route is not particularly i)icturesque, 
 but the unique Rock of Cashel, with the numerous ancient 
 buildings on it, and Thomastown Castle, near Golden, are 
 the more interesting features. 
 
 Holy cross Abbey may be reached b}' a poor road from 
 Littleton (Sim.), but it is better to go from Urlingford to 
 Thurles (lljm), thence as Route 63.

 Description.— A very fair undul.ating road, bumpy at 
 first, but speedilj^ improving, and generally in excellent 
 order as far as Gowran; thereafter it is rather poor and 
 hilly until Royal Oak, when the surface is excellent and 
 the scenery pretty, whore the road keeps close to the river. 
 The straight road by the west bank of the river Barrow is 
 the easier road to Carlow than the one by the east bank, 
 the broad road. Notice Jerpoint Abbey south of Thomas-

 road in Ireland. The surface is quite above the average, 
 and in very good condition, with very easy gradients, till 
 within 2m. of Dungarvan, when it suddenly becomes a 
 wretched, bumpy road, worse than usual, into that town. 
 Thereafter there is another 2m. of the same jolting, Avhen 
 the surface at once improves on ascending the hill and is 
 excellent — not quite so good as the first section — till within 
 5m. of Youghal when it again became bumpy. The route 
 l^resents no outstanding features, except the fine view from 
 the hui above Dungarvan on both sides. Kilmacthomas

 68 (Torl^ to JBlaniei^ etc 
 
 Description,— The road is very bumpy at first, and only 
 improves a little outside the town; the road may be con- 
 tinued on, and Route 69 joined 5m. before Dripsey. This 
 road passes close to "Blarney" Castle (famous for tlie 
 Blarney Stone), and to the extensive and pojiular St. Ann's 
 Hydropathic.

 15J 9i Dripsey. (Route m. ) 
 
 69 CorT? to IRtUarnew 
 
 Description. — Of the various routes to Macroom tlie 
 best and most ])icturesque road is by Drii)sey ; the other, 
 running parallel with the railway, thougli less hilly, is 
 uninteresting. 
 
 Tills road though very bumpy for the first 4m., with 
 tram-lines alongside, improves after Carrigrohane Bridge, 
 and is a su])erior road to Drii)sey; after which it is in- 
 ferior, as well as hilly after Carrigadrohid. 
 
 From Macroom to Killarney the road is very indifferent, 
 with some ])adly kept parts as far as Ball^-vourne}- ; after 
 Avhicli the surface improves on the long hill, and on the 
 Kerry side is much superior until Avithin 2m. of Killarney, 
 Avhcn it becomes very bumjjy (with F.P.). Although the 
 scenery at first is no way striking, there are many very 
 })icturesque parts as the road winds along the valle\-, as 
 far as Macroom, then it l^ecomes uninteresting till the 
 Kerry Mountains come into view. After Curraglass it 
 becomes uninteresting again. Tliere is a fine old Castle 
 at IMacroom, as well as tlie ruins of several old Castles at 
 Inch and Carrigadrohid. 
 
 To see the scenery of Kerry, if not returning to Cork, 
 the toiirist is better to go l)y Route 71 to Glengarriff, and 
 reach Killarney by Kenmare.

 Description — This route is the same as Route 69 as far 
 as Macroom, whence it is a fair undulating road — rather 
 narrow — and a little cut up with coaching to Inchigeelagh. 
 The road continues of excellent siu'face until the long 
 steep ascent of the Pass of Keamaneigh, which is narrow 
 and rough, but at the foot again the road improves and 
 is excellent, though very up and down after Ballylick}' 
 Bridge, and ending with a dangerous (1 in 13) descent to 
 Glengarriff. The scenery on this route is very pretty, as 
 it runs close to the lake l)eyond Inchigeelagh, and the 
 Pass of Keamaneigh is unusually rocky and narrow. Also 
 at Glengarriff there are many fine views. Gouganabarra 
 Lough, "West of Bealanageary, is finely sitiiated among 
 the hills. 
 
 The direct road from Macroom to Toon Bridge over the 
 iiill is very steep; it is more usual to follow the Cork road 
 for nearlj- a mile, and then keeping round to R., follow an 
 almost level road to Toon Bridge. The tourist from Cork 
 thei'efore does not require to enter Macroom.

04 ROYAL ROAD ROOK OF IRELAND. 
 
 72 Cork to Bantrp* 
 
 Description.— The road is very bumpy for the first 2in. ; 
 after that the surface is better, though by no means good, 
 to Bandon. Though it is a broad main road, the traffic 
 on it rather spoils it. From Bandon to Dunmanway the 
 road is slightly hilly to ]Murragh; after that it is flat, 
 but with indifferently good surface to Dunmanway. There- 
 after the road continues of fair surface, though still bumjjy, 
 to Drimoleague, when it gradually degenerates, and near 
 Durrus Eoad station is a badly kept rough road, with many 
 loose stones. The slightly dangerous descent to Bantry is 
 1 in 13. As a main road no one is recommended to follow 
 this route for any place beyond Drimoleague, as though 
 fairly level, it is a very trj'ing road, with no compensating 
 advantages of any kind. Many of tlie sign-jiosts near 
 Bantry are painted in clear black letters on white in 
 Irish ; the English names are faintly visible in small white 
 letters on a green background.

 the dangerous drop to Kilcummer Bridge (1 in 8) ; thereafter, 
 though the road is undulating and with some stiff short 
 hills, the surface is better than usual. 
 
 The road by the south side of the Blackwater is quite as 
 liilh". There is no special attraction on this road, though 
 the hills are seen to advantage. The barracks and bviild- 
 ings on the hill above Fermoy, and Mallow Castle, are the 
 onl}- objects of interest.

 11 lF<illarnep to IRenmare* 
 
 Description. — For the first 7m., the road being mostly 
 iirider trees and the traffic heavy, the surface is poor and 
 bumi^y ; thereafter the road ascends ver}- steeply (I in 11-8- 
 11 dangerous), with moderate!}' good surface to Looscaunagh 
 Lough, after which it is very fair, then steep (1 in 14) again 
 to summit. From Windy Gap down to Kenmare the 
 gradient is almost uniformly eas}- (lin23, but bits of 1 in 
 15 and 17), and the surface on that side is much better. 
 
 This is one of the show routes of Ireland, and in either 
 direction is most picturesqrie. The Killarney Lakes ai'e 
 not seen projx rly for the first 6m., then the road passes 
 close to the lake, through the Tunnel, and along the upper 
 lake. On the long ascent the view grows more extensive, 
 and at the summit (a rock-cutting), the Gap of Dunloe, 
 and the range of hills are seen to advantage ; on the descent 
 to Kenmare the Kerry Hills are on all sides. The view 
 is best seen coming from Kenmare, when, turning the 
 coiner of rock at the summit, the hitherto invisible Hills, 
 Lakes, and A^alleys, are viewed all at once.

 is fairly good, but with many loose patches, and is slightl}' 
 undulating. Thereafter it is a little better, and after 
 INIountain Stage keeps high up on the hillside above tlie 
 sea, commanding fine views of cliff and coast scenery. 
 Turning inland the "new" road is carefully engineered, 
 and takes the long hills in easy grades, with very good 
 surface. 2m. short of Cahirciveen the road becomes very 
 bumjjy, and is poor to Knightstown Ferry, for Valentia 
 Island. 
 
 The prettiest part of this route is between Mountain

 Description. — Tliis road is far above the average as re- 
 gards quality. For the first 8m. the ascent is only notico- 
 a])le at one jioint ; then the road ascends with a very still 
 gradient (mostly 1 in 22, but bits of it 1 in 10 or 1 in 12) 
 through three short tunnels to the summit tunnel (where 
 the road is usualh" a quagmire). The descent to (xlen- 
 garriff (also mostly 1 in 22) is stony, and not so good as on 
 the Kerry side. From both sides the ascent is too lengthy 
 and stiff to be taken easily, and some short pieces of 1 in 12 
 make the accom})lishment n. feat. 
 
 From Glengarrilf to Bantry the heavy traffic on the road 
 makes it very bumpy, while there are some short and very 
 stiff hills, notably at I7im. 1 in 12 (dangei'ous). 
 
 The scenery is not so fine as on the road from Killarney 
 to Kenmare, bvit near Glengai-riff it is very pretty.

 after the surface is mnch better, and with the exception of 
 a short jnece near Parknasilla, where it is very bumjiy, the 
 road is very fair on as far as Caherdaniel. At this point 
 the surface improves, and the road is a fast and easy road 
 over the long hill to Watcrville. After this the road be- 
 comes ver}' Immpy, and though generally' it is an easy road 
 to Cahircivcen, there is one very steep hill (1 in 11-14) after

 Caha Mountains, and between Caherdaniel and Water- 
 ville the panorama is very extensive. At Blackwater

 85 XTralee to ITarbcrt 
 
 Description. — Although tlie road is well engineered to 
 Listowel, the surface is rather poor. The hills are very 
 eas}-, but the buni]\y surface continues for a good ])art of 
 the way. After Listowel the surface is better until within 
 2m. of Tarbert, when it becomes very bunii)y. There are 
 the remains of the Old Castle at Listowel, and Wxe ' ' Lar- 
 tigue " Railwa}' (running on trestles to Ballybunion), with 
 its curious engines and carriages. There is a good view of 
 the estuary of the Shannon from above Tarbert.

 86 Xtmerick to Uarbcrt 
 
 Description. — The surface is bumpy for 2m., but there- 
 after is very fair, and though it is by no means a splendid 
 road, this makes the best route to Tralee coupled with the 
 route above. After FoAues the road becomes somewhat 
 hilly (mostly 1 in 17), though the surface is good, and near 
 Glin there is a good level si:>in by the riverside. Some of 
 the hills are stiff, but generally speaking the road is very 
 good. There is a F.P. most of the way from Glin to 
 Tarl)ert. 
 
 There is little scenery until Foynes is reached, when the 
 road ascending the hill (1 in 17) affords glimpses of the 
 Shannon ; and the opposite shore is always in view all the 
 wa}' to Tarbert. There are some old castles passed on the 
 wa}', notably Carrig o' Gunnel Castle, near Clariua; Court 
 Castle ; Askeaton Castle (and Abbey) ; and Glin Castle.

 87 Ximcrtcf? to IktUarne^. 
 
 Description. — For the first 2m. the road is very biinip}', 
 but thereafter it si^eedily improves, and is very fair (with 
 F.P. ahnost all the way) to NeAvcastle. At this point 
 it begins to get bumpy, but speedily improves again on 
 the hill, which, though not very steej) (1 in 21), is a stiff 
 climb, being a trifle loose. Thereafter the road is rather 
 good on the long descent to Abbeyfeale, where it becomes 
 bad again as far as Kilkinlea Bridge; after whicli it is 
 better, and rising gradually and easily to the summit, 
 descends to Castleisland with a fairly easv descent. On 
 the level the road is rather jjoor again, Init 4m. fiu'ther on 
 it imi)roves, and is a ver}' good road to Killarney. This is 
 the most direct route, and is perhaps as good as any. 
 
 The main point of interest in this route is the splendid 
 panorama of the Kerry INIountains from the road above 
 Castleisland. At Adare there are some i^icturescpie ruins 
 of the extensive Abbey and Castle, also a Cross and a Well, 
 all in woodland surroundings.

 Description. — The road is very rough and l)ninpy for 
 the first lim., but thereafter it becomes very good with 
 easy hills (and F.P. ) almost tlie whole waj' to Nenagh. 
 After that it continues of uniformly good surface, and 
 Avith very slight gradients to Roscrea. Thence to Mary- 
 borough the surface is excellent, though the road is a little 
 up and down. 
 
 There is very little scenery on the route, and those wish- 
 ing a more picturesque way are recomm<mded to go by the 
 road through Castle Connell, O'Brien's Bridge, and Killa- 
 loe, fairly close to the River Shannon, thence by the 
 road overlooking Lough Derg till near Portroe, and, avoid- 
 ing the bad hill at that place by a side road, onwards to 
 Nenagh. There is a fine old Castle Turret at that place, 
 and a Round Tower and Castle at Roscrea.

 Description.— After the steep ascent at AVestport (1 in 10) 
 the road, though easy, has bad bumpy surface for the first 
 6m. ; after that it is very fair, and improves consideral)ly 
 to Leeuane. Thereafter the surface is very good, but the 
 hills are very stiff — mostly 1 in 17 — with short liills of 
 1 in 12. The worst hill is at Siilni., 1 in 8, with a very 
 dangerous turn. 
 
 There is little scenery until Leenane is reached, after 
 
 which there is all the finest scenery characteristic f)f ( 'on-

 is fair most of the way, but there are many short hills. 
 The road becomes rather lougli for a few miles shortly 
 before Ballinrobe. Route 115 is joined at 203m. Agha-

 Description. — The surface on this route is better than 
 tliat of the direct road by Pontoon Bridge, and although 
 at one or two points it is no doubt a little bum]>y, taken 
 as a whole it is better. It misses, however, the scenery 
 of Loch Conn at Pontoon Bridge. There is an Abbey 
 Ruin at Strade and a Round Tower at Turlough.

 117 ^\\Qo to Xonotorb. 
 
 Description.— The Dublin Roail. A very bumpy road 
 to Collooiiey ; after that the surface is better as far as 
 ]>allinafad, when the road becomes rather steep (1 in 16), 
 though with excellent surface over to Boyle ; the hill is 
 stiff, but not dangerous. Thereafter the road ])ecomes rather 
 bumpy more or less the whole way to Longford. The best 
 part is between Drumod and Rinn Bridge. F.P. occasion- 
 ally near villages. 
 
 Fine views from the Curlew Mountains and at those 
 points where the road approaches the Shannon. 
 
 The more direct road by Keadew, after the fii'st 7m. 
 (very bumpy), has fair surface, but it is a succession of 
 short steep hills, and in consequence is a slow road to 
 travel. (English Milestones. )

 120 SlXQO to 3BaIlina, 
 
 Description. — The road is rather stiff at first, and lias 
 rather biimp^- surface to Balljsadare; after that it im- 
 proves consideraljly, and has very fair and almost uni- 
 formly good surface the whole way to Ballina. On account 
 of the regular car traffic it is apt to be heavy in bad Aveather. 
 There are fine views of the mountains from this road.

 Description, — An excellent undulating road Avith very 
 fair surface all the way to Belleek. There is not much 
 tratiic, therefore the road is exceptionally good, and as the 
 scenery of Lough Erne is almost always visible, it is a 
 pleasant road to travel. (From Beeleek to Ballyshannon 
 the road is up and down, surface fair, see Route 325.) 
 The prettier road, giving a view of the river, is that shown 
 on plan — a narrow road, with two very liad hills, one ar 
 25im. (1 in 8), and the other in Ballyshannon. Bally- 
 sh:innon to Bundoran is a good road, but with one stiff hill.

 123 lEuntsftillen to Bonec^aL 
 
 Description.— The road is comparatively level at first. 
 and has very good surface all the \va3- to Pettigoe. In 
 common with the other Ferinanagli roads it is well kept, 
 and has smooth surface all the way. At one or two points 
 there are short hills, but they are of no great consequence. 
 After Pettigoe the road becomes more hilly, and though 
 it is well engineered — mostly 1 in 26 — there are some stiff 
 portions. The road is no doubt a little stony, as well as 
 rough at one or two points, but, taken as a whole, it is a 
 good road. Apjjroaching Donegal it becomes bumpy. The 
 scenery along Lough Enic is rather striking, but after 
 Pettigoe it is rather monotonous.

 Description.— This is one of the best roads in Ireland. 
 The road is well engineered and well kej^t, with a fast, 
 smooth surface — uniformly good — almost the whole way 
 to Butler's Bridge, though the last 5m. before that place 
 are not quite so good; thereafter slightl}* bumpy surface 
 into Cavan. There are one or two short hills, but they 
 are of no consequence. (F.P. near the towns.) 
 
 The scenery is jaleasant for the first 5m., with continual 
 glimpses of Lough Erne, but is uninteresting thereafter, 
 except near Wattle Bridge. (Irish Milestones.)

 Description. — Tlie road is vmdulating, with fair surface 
 for the first tJm. ; after that it is rather better, and between 
 Kesh and Pettigoe is very good. From Pettigoe to Belleek 
 it is ]iOor and hilly for the fii'st 2m., but after Castlecahl- 
 well the surface is splendid the whole way into Belleek. 
 This part of the road is specially fine. From Belleek to 
 Ballyshannon the main road is undulating with fair sur- 
 face, but for the sake of the view the tourist is recom- 
 mended to follow Route 121. From Ballyshannon to Bu:i- 
 doran (see Route 121) is a very fair road, but with one stiff 
 
 hill.

 Description. — Very bumpy surface for the first .3m., but 
 after that it is a splendid broad road with sujierior surface 
 through Templepatrick to Antrim. Thereafter the road 
 continues of good surface and with easy undulations to 
 Ballymena. From Ballymena to Ballymoney the i-oad is 
 of iiniforml}!' good quality, but from there to Coleraine the 
 surface is hardly as good. From Coleraine to Portrush the 
 road is undulatiiag, with fair surface (and F.P.). This 
 route presents few great attractions— nothing like the 
 splendid coast road by Cushendall, but it is a fairly fast 
 route. There is a slightly shorter and an almost level 
 road from Ballymoney direct to Portrush, but it is very 
 stony for the most part, and necessitates i>icking one's 
 way, otherwise it would be much easier than the main 
 road. For the road by Port Stewart see Route 154. (Eng-

 Carrickfergxis, and for the most part is very bumpy, l)ut 
 after that it improves and is a capital smooth road ovei- 
 Whitehead to Gljnm. Thereafter it becomes bumpy and

 Description. — Although the road is easj- and fairly well 
 kept, it has a tendency to be rough and stony as far as 
 Parkmore Station. After that, on account of the heav}- 
 tourist traffic, the road is exceedingly bump}', and in 
 wet weather very muddy on the descent to Glenarriff. 
 Thence good to Cushendall. (English milestones.) 
 
 The road from Parkmore .Station to Glenarriff is one of the 
 ])rettiest routes in Ireland, with the high cliffs I'isiug from the 
 roadside; but it misses the beautiful Glen, wooded and closely sliut 
 in, down which a path has been constructed, witli gangways, 
 bridges, steps, and eveiy picturesque accompaniment to a poijular 
 I'esort. Admission is free to railway travellers, but othera pay (Jd. 
 ^"yclists are advised to enter at the south end, 5Jm. from Cushen- 
 dall, and leaving bicycles, explore it from there.

 152 Xante to portrusb. 
 
 Description. — The easiest route from Belfast is by Bally- 
 mena (Route 148), but from a tourist's point of view this 
 splendid coast road is the best. The road is almost dead 
 level, and runs for 25m. close b}' the sea. The surface is 
 far above the average, except at three points, at llfm., 
 18m., and 20|m., where the quarry traffic destroys the load 
 for a short distance. After Cushendall the road rises 
 gradually by a finel.y engineered ascent, with excellent 
 surface to Ballycastle; after that it is a little loose to 
 Ballintoy Schoolhouse, when it becomes undulating, with 
 very fair surface to Portrush. 
 
 The following are the leading jilaces of interest : Black- 
 cave Tunnel, Carn Castle, Glenarm and Carnlough, Garron 
 Tower and its Cliff, the Falls of Glenarriff (see Route 151), 
 Cushendun Viaduct, liallycastle, the famous Carrick-a- 
 rede at Ballintoy, the unrivalled Giants' Causeway, Dun- 
 luce Castle, and the Cliffs between there and Portrush. 
 The Mull of Kintyre and very often Jura, in Scotland, are 
 visible at most points. (English milestones.)

 Description,— There are two routes to IMaghera; the 
 ■one by Garvagh is a very vip-aiid-down, though excellent 
 road ; the other by Kilrea is easier and has very good sur- 
 face — uniformly good— almost the whole way to Cooks- 
 town. The road is rather pretty for the first 5m. in its 
 course near the River Bann, but after that, presents few 
 points of interest, though the Slieve Gallion IMountain is

 hilly and bumpy, but after that it is a splendid road, with 
 easy undulations, to Limavady. Thence to Coleraine the 
 coast road is flat for 11m., with inferior surface, then very 
 good, but with a dangerous hill (1 in 13) at Downhill. 
 The road can be used without touching Limavady, but 
 strangers are advised to follow the plainer route. 
 
 The Inishowen Peninsula and the fine mountains rising 
 abruj^ttly from the plain near Bellarena are constantly in 
 view. At Downhill there is just room for the road and 
 railway between the high cliffs and the sea ; and the road 
 turns inland at that point, the railway having to tunnel 
 through the headland.

 Description. — A fineh- engineered road Avitli fair surface, 
 though inclined to he Ijumpy as far as Cumber Presbyterian 
 Church. Thereafter, although the road is stonier, it has 
 smoother surface, and is a fast road on to Dungiven. 
 From Dungiven the road continues with the same good 
 quality of surface over Glenshane Pass to Maghera, and 
 after that though slightly hill}- is a fairly good road to 
 Toome Bridge. Thereafter the road has a tendencj- to be 
 bumpy, but is usually very well kept, and is good going to 
 Antrim. 
 
 The road presents little to interest except the old toml) 
 of the "Kings" in Dungiven Abbey, and Shanes Castle 
 near Antrim, both of Avhich are not seen from the road. 
 The first 5m. from Londonderry are well wooded, but after 
 Cumber the route is bleak until Maghera. (Irish mile-

 159 Xont)ont)err^ to ©magb. 
 
 Description. — An eas}- but very bumpy road to Strabane 
 (F. P. for a good j^art of the way). The road by the west 
 side of the river is slightly hilly, but the surface is better, 
 though it is 2im. longer. From Straljane to Omagh it is a 
 ]>road and very easy road, with verv fair surface — much 
 better than the first section. 
 
 Occasional glimpses of the river are obtained at various 
 ]ioints, and the road overlooks the river valley near Sion 
 jM'Hs and beyond Newtown Stewart. There are the ruins 
 of au old Castle at the latter place.

 Description.— A broad and finely -engineered road the 
 whole distance. The daily traction engine from Derry to 
 Raphoe keeps this road in excellent order as a rule ; after 
 that there is little traffic, and it is a smooth and easy road 
 to summit, then rather steep to Stranoriar, where the road 
 becomes bumpy. After Ballybofey it is a little loose, but 
 with fast surface, and on the long imperceptible descent to 
 •Donegal has splendid surface, though there are manj^ loose 
 stones. The road becomes bump}' near the latter toAvn. 
 "With a favourable wind most fast c3-clists can i)ace the 
 train up and down the pass. (Irish milestones.) 
 
 The scenery for a good part of the way is rather bleak. 
 There is a fine view from the road near Raphoe ; an inter- 
 esting pass — Barnesmore Gap — at 'Mhva. ; and a view of 
 Lough Eask and the hills surrounding it at 39m.

 Description.— The road is very bumpy for the first l^m., 
 but after the level crossing it is a bi'oad, verj- fair, and 
 almost level road (F.P. ) to Bunifoot. After that it be- 
 comes undulating — onlj- short hills, however — with rather 
 good surface to Buncrana. Thereafter the road is nar- 
 rower, and has a tendency to be poor, with stiff hills occa- 
 sionally. There is a more direct road (4im. shorter) over the 
 hills from Drumf ries Station to Carndonagh, but it is rough, 
 very steep, and involves slow travelling. The road runs 
 close to Lough Swilly for many miles, and commands fine 
 views of that Lough, together with the "Grianan." From 
 Carndonagh to JNIoville the surface is excellent, but there 
 is a stiff descent to the latter place. (Irish milestones. )

 one of the best in Donegal — to Gweedore. Thence it is 
 almost as good to Crolly Bridge, but after that, though 
 level and well made, it is easily broken up, and may be 
 either a very fine or a very bad road. The sugar-loaf- 
 shaped Errigal Mountain is the prominent feature on the 
 route. Pretty scenery at Crolly Bridge.

 Description. — The siirface is poor near Donegal, but it

 condition xmtil nearing Killybegs, when it becomes bumpy ; 
 then it improves a little, and after Larg}- is a capital road 
 to Carrick; thereafter there is little traffic, and the road 
 is good, but with a bad descent (1 in 8) to Glen. Except 
 this one none of the hills are actually dangerous, though 
 several of them are 1 in 12. 
 
 The hills above Bundoran and the whole inlet formation 
 of Donegal are constantly in view. The splendid cliiT 
 face of Slieve League near Carrick is not visible from the 
 road, but is the centre point of attraction of this district. 
 The road from Glen to Ardara is for miles a mass of stones, 
 and the zig-zag descent of Glengesh (1 in 7) is the worst 
 hill in all Ireland.
