Praise for West Cork Walks
'... as refreshing as taking a draught from a mountain stream.' Belfast Telegraph
'... an expert and informative book ... Kevin Corcoran is a dab
hand at drawing, whether plant or landscapes or his
carefully explicit maps' Michael Viney, The Irish Times
Reader reviews
'An excellent and well written book. I downloaded the Glengarriff Walk and found the actual on the ground detail 100% accurate. The facts around the actual directions were informative and interesting. Overall, a total pleasure to read and use. This book is on my Christmas list .. as are the other books by Kevin Corcoran. All I can say is keep up the work. If we are to encourage more walkers in Ireland, we need more walking books of this quality' Dermot Callaghan
