Above is an enhanced Google map, which allows users to find out more about each of the Liverpool Irish Famine Trail sites. This is a static map, that opens up information and galleries for you to view. To learn more, tap on a crest. A flag pops up with its location. Click on ‘Read more’ and you will be taken to a map of the site as well as information on it. Use the tabs to navigate through to find a personal story connected with the site; the site’s connection to the Liverpool Irish Famine and a gallery of images.

If you want something to use on the go, use our app, which will link back in to these pages and give you additional rich content. We’ve developed a blend of audio files and videos, to listen and watch at the sites, or for you to peruse from the comfort of your home. Either way, we hope you will find the material interesting and informative.

Planning your journey

Though we recommend visiting all of the Liverpool Irish Famine Trail sites, trying to do all 15 in a day may be a bit hard, depending on your speed, weather, traffic and travel options. These categories may help you to split the Trail in to more manageable trail lengths.

Coming soon

At the time of writing (Sept 2024), we are preparing to start trialling new audio commentary, GPS personal device linkages and other rich content materials. If you are an early adopter and find these things on our site, we ask you to please ensure you are safe to use the commentary features (e.g., you are not walking in traffic). We hope you will enjoy the full package of upgrades once we have worked out how to share them all with you!

I want more, where can I find it?

We have a book, called Revive, available in our online shop and another one due for release in 2025.

In 2024 we are in the process of recording a documentary, detailing The Walk of the Bronze Shoes. This will also be released in 2025. It has been sponsored by the Irish Government’s Strategic Diaspora Fund. 

The Walk of the Bronze Shoes was documented with a series of postcards, posted online daily. You can read those, here.
