Items related to At the Edge of Ireland: Seasons on the Beara Peninsula
In recent years, Ireland has enjoyed a newfound prosperity as Europe's most affluent nation. But tucked away in a far corner of the so-called "Celtic Tiger," that other enduring and authentic country—that small, hidden place of simple magic and romance—still exists. Acclaimed travel writer David Yeadon and his wife, Anne, set out to find it.
On the Beara Peninsula of southwest Ireland, the Yeadons discovered their own "little lost world," an enticing Brigadoon of soaring mountain ranges and spectacular coastal scenery, far removed from the touristic hullabaloo of Dublin, Killarney, and the Ring of Kerry. Here is the fabled "Old Ireland," alive and well with music seisuins, hooley dances, and seanachai storytellers—a haven for searchers, healers, artists, and poets hardy enough to have braved the same narrow and winding mountain roads that keep the package-tour coaches out.
Bursting with color and life, At the Edge of Ireland is an intrepid wanderer's celebration of a magical, unspoiled, and unforgettable Éire.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In recent years, Ireland has enjoyed a newfound prosperity as Europe's most affluent nation. But tucked away in a far corner of the so-called "Celtic Tiger," that other enduring and authentic country—that small, hidden place of simple magic and romance—still exists. Acclaimed travel writer David Yeadon and his wife, Anne, set out to find it. On the Beara Peninsula of southwest Ireland, the Yeadons discovered their own "little lost world," an enticing Brigadoon of soaring mountain ranges and spectacular coastal scenery, far removed from the touristic hullabaloo of Dublin, Killarney, and the Ring of Kerry. Here is the fabled "Old Ireland," alive and well with music "seisuins," hooley dances, and "seanachai" storytellers—a haven for searchers, healers, artists, and poets hardy enough to have braved the same narrow and winding mountain roads that keep the package-tour coaches out. Bursting with color and life, "At the Edge of Ireland" is an intrepid wanderer's celebration of a magical, unspoiled, and unforgettable Eire. Now in paperback original format, David Yeadon's evocative memoir of his time spent with his wife Anne on the Beara Penisula of Southwest Ireland, is a perfect way to travel through the back country of Ireland without ever leaving home. Whether you're Irish or you wish you were, the story of the Yeadons' intrepid travels and the unique people they meet on the path less-traveled will uncover soaring mountain ranges, twisting and narrow backroads, and all those intrinsic elements of "The Old Ireland" that traditional traveling all too ofter leaves out.
