This is a traveller's tale told with all the enthusiasm and excitement of discovery. As a small boy Michael Fewer was fascinated by the vastness and power of the ocean, and how they very skeleton of the land was exposed in layers along the sea cliffs. His fascination and interest grew over the years, and he longed to explore the coastline by foot. Starting at the Meath border, he walked along the entire Dublin coast, finishing up where the Dublin coast meets the Wicklow coast. As he walked he observed the landmarks, the seashore, the flora and the fauna. He found a coast rich in history, topographically diverse, with a mixture of urban and rural landscapes. He recounts his meetings and conversations with local people and other walkers along the way, and records the constant visual surprises that enliven and often shorten journeys.
