Wild places that are best experienced close up by the human eye and ear. Unfortunately, many people have to rely on photographs or the impressions of painters.

In recent times, there’s been a massive growth in numbers of people walking in the MacGillycuddy’s Reeks, in Co Kerry. Such traffic now needs to be managed to protect a mountain environment showing clear signs of wear and tear from human footfall.
