New book on Ireland’s best walks includes two in Donegal

Two Donegal walks have been included in a new book listing 50 of the best walks in Ireland.
Tipperary-born author John G O’Dwyer has just launched his latest book, 50 Best Irish Walks - Easy to Moderate.
The trails listed in the book range from easy to moderate in all regions of the country. Taking anywhere from 1.5 to 4.5 hours to complete, the comprehensive walk descriptions are accompanied by detailed maps and photographs of the stunning Irish landscape, which makes this an ideal book for the recreational walker.

Two of the selected best 50 walks are located in Donegal - the walk around Horn Head and the Glencolmcille to Port loop.
There are, however, walks described in all regions of Ireland, from the Causeway Coast of Antrim to West Mayo and the Sheep's Head in Cork.

The book is available from bookshops nationwide and from publishers, curachbooks.com.
The author says the book is aimed at a market that, has, so far, not been served.

“There are many books describing walks on the high mountains of Ireland, but none, so far, that focus on this country’s moderate and easier trails that can be completed in a half-day or less. This is the market that has been growing most rapidly since the outbreak of Covid.”
