A Walk Across Ireland (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781736387085)

In 2022, a 57- and 60-year-old couple embarked on a walk across Ireland. Their 357-mile, 32-day hike connected five existing trails that led them from the Temple Bar Pub in Dublin to Bray Head on the western tip of Valentia Island. A Walk Across Ireland is a vivid day-to-day account of their cross-Ireland adventure.

Traveling across the Wicklow Mountains, along the River Barrow and River Suir, through miles of rolling pastures, and over Windy Gap high above the Black Valley, A Walk Across Ireland shares the ups and downs of long-distance hiking through some of the most beautiful countryside in Ireland.

For those interested in hiking one or all of the five trails that can be connected to lead from Ireland's east to west coasts-Wicklow Way, South Leinster Way, East Munster Way, Blackwater Way, and Kerry Way-A Walk Across Ireland provides route and lodging suggestions, trail details that can't be found elsewhere, and anecdotes galore for those who are in need of a jump start to plan their Ireland adventure.

Whether you are a long-distance through-hiker or an armchair adventurer, A Walk Across Ireland weaves the stories of the helpful and curious people, the ever- changing weather, and the stunning landscapes that author Jonathan Wunrow and his wife Leslie experienced along their hike.
