These include four guides to Irish long-distance walks, one of which is the Dingle Way, which I used myself some years ago, and found to be one of the best walking guides I had ever handled. -- Margaret Tees * Irish Mountain Log, Summer 2014, page 51 *The detail in this book convinced us that we could actually go do the trek. We bought two other books on walks in Ireland and none of the others were nearly as good as this one for the Dingle Way. The others were more overviews. This was a very specific trail guide with precise distances, markers, turns etc. -- Verified purchaser * Amazon customer review *The indispensable guide for the Dingle Way ... water-resistant pages in a ring binder, with color photos and good maps. -- Peter Bridges * Washington Times Special 22 July 2006 *
