Make way for the walker and we will be a healthier country
Foreign tourists and Irish people who have walked and hiked abroad are appalled to find there is almost nowhere to walk in Ireland in comparison to most other countries.
Ireland’s long-distance footpaths (Kerry way, Beara way, etc) are in reality nothing more than old public roads that have been abandoned by the authorities but remain rights of way, together with routes marked across mountains by the occasional post, at the sufferance of the landowner who may restrict access at any time.
