The Rude Map of Ireland: Real Irish Place Names

It’s staycation time again for the good people of Ireland and choices are limited as bookings have thankfully boomed. After a long year and busy year, I recently joined the panic to find a holiday destination. The usual digital channels proved less fruitful, so it was back to basics. I unfolded a traditional paper map and searched the old fashioned way.

The ten year old in me immediately got distracted and I found some funny place names that made me laugh!

Willyrogue Island, Co. Galway
Muff, Co. Donegal
Cum, Co. Mayo
Blueball, Co. Offaly
Effin, Co Limerick
Cock Hill, Co Cavan
Bastaardstown, Co Wexford
Nobber, Co Meath

I then checked Google maps just to see if my traditional paper map was somehow designed solely for my amusement and found some more hidden gems. This gave me the idea to promote these places and also entertain the small child in me 😂😂😂
