In recent times the popularity of the Camino de Santiago has prompted renewed interest in pilgrim walks in Ireland. Increasing numbers now follow ancient Irish pilgrim paths to such holy places as Glencolumbkille, Croagh Patrick. Lough Derg and Glendalough. John G. O'Dwyer has walked - or, in the case of Clonmacnoise, cycled, - the pilgrim trails of Ireland, from Slieve Mish in the north-east, where Christianity may have had its first dawning in Ireland, to Skellig Michael in the south-west, where the known world once ended. Each walk has directions, the degree of difficulty, estimated time and a map. This well-received guide is now updated with the five additional journeys of homage, including Kerry's Croc na dTober and Wicklow's Rian Bó Phádraig. The author recounts his feelings and  experiences, and describes the entertaining and insightful characters he meets along the way.
