In The 50 Best Family Hikes in Ireland, Mairéad Furlong and Fergal McLoughlin share their experiences of climbing more than 200 of Ireland’s mountains with their child (who is currently eight years old), drawing on their expertise from over twenty years of working as psychologists with families and children.

The walks cover a wide range of different landscapes, including mountains, sea cliffs, sandy coastlines, karst limestone, rivers, lakes, woodlands and boglands, and feature gems not typically included in other Irish hiking books.

Dr Mairéad Furlong and Fergal McLoughlin are psychologists with a passion for hiking. With over twenty years of experience closely working with families and children, they have combined this knowledge with their love of hiking to show that a love of the outdoors can create bonds in families steeped in a love for nature.
