Public access to the Irish countryside is more limited than almost anywhere else in Europe – no right to roam, no network of footpaths across the landscape and minimal legal protection for existing rights of way. When Tim Hannigan discovers a forgotten web of paths recorded on an old map of Ireland, he sets out on an epic journey to find out how the country lost its ways. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs well as an evocative travelogue and a fascinating exploration of the turbulent history of the land in Ireland, \u003ci\u003eThe Pathless Land\u003c\/i\u003e also offers an important new perspective on contemporary debates about extending the “right to roam” in neighbouring Britain, and asks vital but neglected questions about the most practical mechanisms for public access in heavily agricultural landscapes. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is also a deeply personal journey for the author. Born in Cornwall but living and raising a family in County Galway, he must confront awkward questions about landscape and identity, and about the connections between walking and belonging, as he struggles to find his way across a pathless land.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57256909963608,"sku":"9781035908455","price":31.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/pathless-land","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
