Description

Wild Guide West of Ireland: Travel Adventure Guide is a richly illustrated exploration of Ireland’s rugged Atlantic edge, written by travel authors Candida Frith-Macdonald and Daniel Start. Part of the acclaimed Wild Guide series, this volume focuses on the wildest and most scenic regions of western Ireland, including Donegal, Sligo, Mayo, Galway, Clare, Limerick, Cork, and Kerry.

The book reveals around 1,000 hidden and lesser-known places, carefully curated for travellers who want to experience Ireland beyond the usual tourist routes. Readers are guided to remote beaches, sea caves, cliff walks, ancient ruins, waterfalls, forest trails, and wild swimming spots, alongside cultural and culinary stops such as local pubs, farm shops, and rural cafés.

Each entry is supported with detailed maps, GPS coordinates, and practical advice for access, camping, swimming, hiking, and road travel. The guide is designed for walkers, campervan travellers, families, and outdoor enthusiasts who want both adventure and safety while exploring remote terrain.

Beyond its practical value, the book also highlights Ireland’s geological and cultural richness—linking landscapes shaped by Atlantic weather with centuries of human history, including castles, forts, monastic sites, and abandoned settlements scattered across the west.

Visually striking and highly usable in the field, Wild Guide West of Ireland blends travel writing, photography, and navigation tools into a single companion for discovering the untamed beauty of Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way.
