When she first set foot on the Beara Breifne Way, Miriam Mulcahy expected a long distance hike that would take her across some of the most beautiful scenery in Ireland. What she found instead was a living tapestry past and present: ancient landscapes where myth and memory linger; pilgrim routes and rebel roads; quiet villages, wild coastlines, hidden valleys, and the ghostly thread that ties them all together.
Following in the footsteps of Domhnall Cam O'Sullivan Beare's fateful march in 1603, she begins her journey uncertain - of the path, of herself, of what she hopes to find. But as the miles unfurl, something shifts, and she begins to carve a line of connection in time.
This is an extraordinary story of landscape and legacy, of attention and endurance, of losing sight of yourself and finding something far better: renewal. Lyrical, reflective and quietly radical, it captures what happens when you give yourself over fully to a journey - and how, in doing so, you return changed.
