We aim to provide a prompt mail order service at reasonable cost. But you may well prefer to buy locally in an outdoor store, book shop or newsagent. Here is a list of retailers that stock some or all of our maps. Please do let me know if you find them short of stock for any reason. I will then contact them to renew their stock or else delete them from this list. If you can't purchase locally and think you should be able to, please ask your local newsagent etc. Thanks.

January 2012 : Some significant route changes to the Dublin Mountains Way are currently being implemented. If you have purchased one of our Dublin Mountains Way maps, be sure to visit the publication page here in the sales listings. Here you will find a set of maps that show the various updates. Please take the time to view these and transfer the details to your map.

May I wish a Safe and a Happy New Year to all our customers. We certainly appreciated your business in 2011 as it's not a particularly easy time to be running a small business. We experienced quite a decline in cartographic work for various public bodies during the year, budgetary cutbacks and constraints etc. Previously this work has helped to support us in the long term process of developing maps for Dublin & Wicklow etc., but now the shoe is on the other foot and map sales are helping to keep the other side going! Our targets for 2012 are along the following lines:

11 December 2011
From Mountain Meitheal: after a hard but rewarding day the bridge is open again for service. While some work remains to be done after Christmas the bridge again privides a safe crossing for the many hundreds of walkers who use this section of trail. Thanks to the fourteen volunteers who turned out today and to the Wicklow Way management partnership for the resources that made this project possible - A credit to all.

Wicklow Way and St. Kevins Way notice

19 November 2011

The bridge over the Dargle above Powerscourt Waterfall on the Wicklow Way was pushed to one side in the heavy rain on 24th October. At times when water levels are high, walkers may not be able to cross the river and are advised to detour via the road and through Djouce Woods.

Coillte has also reported damage to a number of bridges on the western side of St Kevin’s Way between the Wicklow Gap and Knocknadroose.

Thanks to everyone who came along to the Walkers Association of Ireland meeting on 26th Oct., where I talked about my interest in maps, mapping and developing the Dublin & Wicklow Map series. I think the attendance was somewhat bigger than expected, so I hope you were all able to hear.

As of 1st July 2011, the lower rate of VAT has been reduced to 9% from 13.5%. The retail prices of EastWest Mapping publications have been adjusted accordingly and for example, our Dublin & Wicklow map sheets should now be selling at €9.55 in the shops. If you notice them selling at the old price of €9.95, please advise the shop owner.

This is a flat version of our standard Wicklow East map sheet - suitable for those who would like a copy for wall display and/or perhaps flat for laminating etc. It measures 675mm x 974mm and is packaged in a postal tube, hence higher delivery cost. You are welcome to call by prior arrangment to collect a copy at standard cost. Please note that we have a limited number of sheets available in this format - just 45 as of March 2011.

Our Wicklow East map at 1:30,000 is now published. This is the final sheet, for the present, in our Dublin & Wicklow series. See our on line catalogue for sample detail and ordering. Thanks.

I would like to bring your attention to the increasing amount of commentary relating to the potential sale of Coillte. Whatever your political views, the fact is that Coillte own and manage around 7% of this country on our, the citizens behalf. Coillte's progressive Open Forest Policy means that you & I have ready access to these lands, whether for recreation within or for use as access to the higher hills. There is a suggestion abroad that the Irish state should sell off all or part of this asset to private interests.
