PATHLESS LAND: FINDING A WAY ACROSS IRELAND (HB)

Ireland is a pathless land. Public access to the Irish countryside is more limited than almost anywhere else in Europe - no right to roam, no network of footpaths and minimal legal protection for existing rights of way. When Tim Hannigan discovers a forgotten web of paths recorded on an old map of Ireland, he sets out on an epic journey to find out how the country lost its ways, and confronts questions about landscape and identity.
