Out now: Tim Hannigan sets out on a 678-kilometre journey on foot across Ireland, from Dunmore Head in County Kerry to Burr Point in County Down. Along the way he digs into the endlessly troubled history of the land and tries to work out why Ireland has ended up with perhaps the most limited provisions for public access to the countryside in Europe. This is also a book about landscape, identity and belonging, about being an outsider in Ireland and about who gets to claim a share in the historical “we” of national narratives.
