🇮🇪 How to recognise Ireland in Street View
Ireland is in Northern Europe. Here's how to tell you've landed in Ireland when Far Fetched drops you there in Street View.
| Drive on | ⬅️ the left |
|---|---|
| Signs in | English, Irish |
| Region | Northern Europe |
| Borders | United Kingdom |
Clues to look for
Cars drive on the left and signs are in English and Irish. Distances are in kilometres, unlike the UK. Look for very green fields, stone walls, and yellow lines along the road edge.
Driving side
Cars in Ireland drive on the left. So do Isle of Man and Jersey, which are also in Northern Europe. Fewer than a quarter of countries drive on the left, so spotting it narrows things down a lot.
Countries it's easy to confuse with Ireland
