The Road to Roaringwater by Christopher Somerville
In the spring of 1991, Christopher Somerville set out to walk the 700 miles from Malin Head, the northernmost point of Ireland, to Cape Clear Island in Roaringwater Bay, the southermost - through some of the loneliest, wildest and most beautiful country in Europe. Down the west coast of Ireland he met struggling smallholders and the elderly inheritors of crumbling estates, rural priests and publicans, the hopeful waltzers in Lisdoonvarna's ballrooms of romance and solitary island-dwellers seeking refuge from the 20th century. This is Christopher Somerville's story. The author also wrote "Coastal Walks in England and Wales", "Britain Beside the Sea" and "The Other British Isles".Christopher is a Times journalist with 25 years’ experience of writing and broadcasting about country walks (and tougher hikes). He is the author of Somerville’s 100 Best British Walks (Armchair Traveller, 2012), Where to See Wildlife in Britain and Ireland (Collins, 2013) and Best Wild Places (Penguin, 2011).
