Irish Coastal Walks (Paperback)
ISBN-13: 978-1852842871 |
Check out the low price and order here
Ireland is a small country, but its coastline measures around 3500 miles (5600km). The western seaboard is incredibly convoluted, breaking into fine headlands and a spread of islands. While many parts of Ireland's coastline are well known, such as the Giant's Causeway and the Cliffs of Moher, few have heard of the Wexford Coastal Path, the Sheep's Head or Inishturk. This guide covers over fifty coastal walks around Ireland, taking in broad beaches, towering cliffs, battered headlands and a score of lovely islands. There is a huge amount of variety, astounding scenery, plenty of history and heritage, with a good system of transport, accommodation and other services. In sunshine or storm, many of these coastal walks exhibit a raw, rare beauty. The walks are, of course, all coastal. However, they are also remarkably varied and represent a good selection of routes, which include cliffs and rocky headlands, marshes, dunes and estuaries, with plenty of wilderness and little industry. The classic coastal names are there: Bray Head, the Cliffs of Moher, the Giant's Causeway. A spread of fascinating islands includes the Aran Islands, Clare Island, Achill Island, Tory Island and Rathlin. In fact, there are a total of 54 coastal walks including 19 walks on islands. Most of the walks are quite easy, but some are akin to mountain walks, climbing over some of the highest sea cliffs in Europe. The walks are numbered and arranged in a clockwise direction around the coast, starting north of Dublin, taking in the eastern, southern and western coasts, and ending in Northern Ireland.

Carrauntoohil and MacGillycuddy's Reeks: A Walking Guide to Ireland's Highest Mountains [Illustrated] (Hardcover)
ISBN-13: 978-1905172337 |
Check out the low price and order here
Over 25,000 walkers visit the Carrauntoohil and Macgillycuddy Reeks region annually and for those not familiar with the area a proper guidebook is essential. After many years of research Jim Ryan has considerable background knowledge and experience of these mountains. For this book he has met and photographed the owners of Carrauntoohil and the Reeks and recorded their history and association with the lands. There is a vivid account of the eviction of a family fifty years ago from their home in the Gap of Dunloe, and how they moved into the Black Valley. Also included is a study of the placenames and the folklore behind them. The geology of the mountains, their structure and fault lines, flora and fauna are also detailed. Most critically, the twenty walks, ranging from easy low-level to strenuous routes, are described in detail and illustrated with fifteen specially-commissioned original colour maps, produced by Ordnance Survey Ireland. In addition, there are nearly two hundred colour photographs. The walk descriptions contain detailed instructions for those not familiar with the area. Each walk is assigned a difficulty rating, its difficulties are spelled out, and there are specific safety instructions, survival tips and escape routes.
