Enthralling walk around Ireland’s people and wildlife

MICHAEL FEWER’S Ireland — People, Places, Walking and Wildlife is the title of the latest book from a man who has spent over 20 years exploring this country on foot, concentrating on some of the more remote and inaccessible parts of it. It’s also his best book to date. The subject matter has a more universal appeal and the writing has matured into a pleasing, easy-going style.

The book tells the story of numerous walks he has undertaken in different parts of Ireland from Tory Island to the Waterford coast, with a lot of the hillier bits in between these two extremities.
