“President Catherine Connolly suggested that we produce this walking guidebook in both Irish and English – ‘a bilingual book for our bilingual city’ ”. Joe McGinley agus Patrick McGinley.
“This charming, bilingual guidebook is a valuable new resource, celebrating the biodiversity, beauty, and heritage of Galway City.
In a time when climate change and the decline of biodiversity are pressing challenges, the knowledge gathered here by Patrick and Joe McGinley feels especially timely. Father and son share a keen eye for the wonders of nature, and their clear directions, woven with engaging stories, will inspire many to explore these routes with fresh eyes.
This booklet will appeal to anyone eager to discover more about the area- from the hidden mysteries of Sandy River to the beauty of Bóithrín Chúil Each- and will help us all appreciate the rich variety of nature on our doorstep.
It will benefit everyone who takers time to read it, as well as t
he wider Galway community, with proceeds supporting a truly worthy local cause: Galway Hospice Foundation.
We can all congratulate the authors on producing such fine work- and may Our Galway Nature Walks bring enjoyment and inspiration to many for years to come” Áedín Ní Thiarnaigh – Broadcaster and Folklorist
