West Cork Walks Guidebook

by: Kevin Corcoran
Experience the rugged wildness of Ireland's most southerly region in the company of an expert naturalist. Walking in West Cork offers an incredible variety of choice: mountain peaks, rolling heaths, forested valleys, pristine lakes and sandy beaches. West Cork covers the entire area from the long winding coast in the south between Kinsale and Kerry, up through Dunmanway to Macroom, and on through Ballyvourney to the adjacent Kerry border at the northern end.
The ten walks described vary in length from 4 to 10 miles with something suitable for casual strollers, family groups, ramblers and serious walkers. Each route has clear detailed instructions and sketch maps plus comprehensive information on flora and fauna. Each walk chapter begins with a description of its main features. There are many beautiful wildlife illustrations drawn by the author.
The Walk locations are: The Gearagh (near Macroom); Ballyvourney; Gougane Barra; Castlefreke (near Rosscarbery); Lough Hyne (near Skibbereen); Sheep's Head (near Mizen); Priest's Leap (near Glengarriff)
