The Best Walks series aims to select the very best walking opportunities to be found in a region or national park. There is something for everyone in these walking guides. Each book suggests twenty to forty good quality walks - where possible, circular to avoid difficulties with transport. The walks are clearly graded and include easy, moderate, challenging and strenuous/difficult routes more suitable for the experienced hiker. A clear route description and exceptionally detailed map is included for each walk and there are practical suggestions on transport to and within the region plus a section with useful addresses and telephone numbers. Best Walks in Ireland has five walks in the north and fifteen in the Republic of Ireland. It takes in well-known areas such as the Antrim coast, the Mountains of Mourne and the Dingle peninsula and also remote, wild areas of Ireland still largely undiscovered by tourists.
David Marshall is the author of several walking guides. He has undertaken treks in many parts of the world.
