Wild Shores

The Magic of Ireland’s Coastline

By: Richard Nairn

Narrated by: Ruairi Conaghan

Acclaimed ecologist’s second nature memoir brings you on a fascinating journey around Ireland’s coastline.

Following the Irish coast in a clockwise direction, acclaimed ecologist Richard Nairn travels by boat, on foot and sometimes by air to visit the best remaining wild places, including islands, cliffs, beaches and dunes.

The result is a unique mix of nature, history, science and a reflection on the author’s personal experiences of exploring Ireland’s coast. By viewing the Irish coastline from the sea, Richard gains a unique perspective on the island. And along the way, he recalls a lifetime spent studying nature.
