A boreen or bohereen (/bɔːˈriːn/ bor-EEN; Irish: bóithrín [ˈbˠoː(h)ɾʲiːnʲ, bˠoː(h)ˈɾʲiːnʲ], meaning 'a little road') is a country lane, or narrow, frequently unpaved, rural road in Ireland. "Boreen" also appears sometimes in names of minor urban roads such as Saint Mobhi Bóithrín (Irish: Bóithrín Mobhí), commonly known as Mobhi Boreen in Glasnevin, Dublin. To be considered a boreen the road or path should not be wide enough for two cars to pass and have grass growing in the middle. In parts of Ulster, a boreen is often called a loanin, an Ulster Scots word.

  • Een boreen of bohereen (Iers: bóithrín, wat "een kleine weg" betekent) is een landweg of smalle, vaak onverharde landelijke weg in Ierland. De naam boreen komt soms ook voor in namen van kleine stedelijke wegen zoals Saint Mobhi Bóithrín (Iers: Bóithrín Mobhí), in het algemeen bekend als Mobhi Boreen, in , Dublin. Om als een boreen te worden beschouwd, mag de weg of het pad niet breed genoeg zijn om twee auto's te laten passeren en groeit er gras in het midden van de weg. In sommige delen van Ulster wordt een boreen vaak een "loanin" genoemd, een Ulster-Scots dialectwoord. (nl)

  • A boreen or bohereen (/bɔːˈriːn/ bor-EEN; Irish: bóithrín [ˈbˠoː(h)ɾʲiːnʲ, bˠoː(h)ˈɾʲiːnʲ], meaning 'a little road') is a country lane, or narrow, frequently unpaved, rural road in Ireland. "Boreen" also appears sometimes in names of minor urban roads such as Saint Mobhi Bóithrín (Irish: Bóithrín Mobhí), commonly known as Mobhi Boreen in Glasnevin, Dublin. To be considered a boreen the road or path should not be wide enough for two cars to pass and have grass growing in the middle. The word "boreen" comes from the Irish word bóithrín, which in turn comes from bóthar. In origin, a bóthar was a cow path, a track the width of two cows, so bóithrín meant a little cow path. Bóthar was one of the five types of road identified in medieval Irish legal texts, the others being slige (on which two chariots could pass), rót (on which one chariot and two riders could pass), lámraite (a road connecting two major roads) and tógraite (a road leading to a forest or a river). In parts of Ulster, a boreen is often called a loanin, an Ulster Scots word. (en)
