After 25 years of bringing hundreds of people from all over the world to Ireland to walk the hills, valleys and shores of Donegal and Antrim I have now decided to call it a day.
I've had great fun and met many lovely people , lots of whom have become friends.
Our two websites www.walktalkdonegal.com and www.walktalkireland.com will close down at the end of the month.

I'm naturally sad that this great venture has come to an end but I hope to continue walking the hills and headlands of Donegal .
Maybe see you out there.

At Fanad Lighthouse sustainability underpins everything they do. Manager Eimear Ní Mhathúna said that the lighthouse’s location is what dictates their sustainable focused ethos.
“We are in a very beautiful place, so it’s hard not to be conscious of the fragility of our landscape. Our surroundings are what informed our thinking, we very much see ourselves as custodians of the lighthouse. A building like that is not going to be built again and we have to look after it.

There is something about lighthouses that draws you in. Their remote and often beautiful locations, the buildings themselves and of course the lives of the people who lived and worked in them.
