Donegal, Sligo & Leitrim: A Walking Guide

Hendroff presents a guide to 27 walks along the northwest coast of Ireland. They range from easy three-hour walks for beginners with basic map and compass skills to difficult walks of five or more hours that might include complex ground, pretty steep slopes, and even scrambling a bit now and then. Moderate walks are between. Among the routes are the coastal delights of Horn Head, a circuit of Aghla More and Aghla Beg, the three tops of Slievetooey, the classic Blue Stack Ridge circuit, the Aroo plateau, and Knocknarea. The beautiful color landscape photographs are not credited, but presumably are his. A bibliography is provided, but no index. Distributed in the US by Dufour Editions.
