    Irlanda

    Ritengo che l’Irlanda sembrerebbe molto povera rispetto al Regno Unito a questo riguardo. Qualche pensiero?

      I’m curious what a walk area means but I think England would sore a lot higher. They have much better right of way access in the country side

      We lack right to roam laws that they have in the UK

      There is no doubt that we were so much poorer by comparison. Sure look at the amount of gombeens complaining every time there’s a greenway mentioned or proposed near their area.

      Ireland has vastly improved its managed off road walking paths in its last twenty years. Before they still existed and people walked them, but whether you could get through or not you didn’t know. Now the councils or their appointees keep walking paths clear.

      Obviously I’m in a very special place in Ireland for off road walking (north Cork), but there is oodles of it here much of it boring but some is world class spectacular. I do the mount Hillary climb with my kids several times per year, it’s always amazing. Claragh loop takes me the day but very worth it. Yes these are all climbs, but you can also walk between them mostly off road, I live here so it’s easier to drive and all those climbs now have proper car parks which they didn’t ten years ago.

      Last summer I took an ebike along the off road walking trails and the quieter back roads and I had an absolutely lovely time. Did about 500 km. Those back roads you’d see more walkers and bicycles than cars.

      Take away half of the roads, and make them trails and woodlands. It would help the country a lot.

      It won’t ever happen but still

      My dad lives in England and I just feel like there are so many more national parks in the UK so plenty of options for a day out hiking. People also tend to bring a pack lunch with them and make a day of it there whereas I find the options of large parks/forests to walk are few and few between.

      Yea we suck at walking trails, even marked ones like the Wicklow Way are near totally lined with sikta spruce plantation, and that’s only when you are away from the country roads that have big SUVs flying by you.

      Was in Henley on the Thames in England a few years ago and was amazed that you could pretty much walk the length of the river. No chance of that here

      Forget the UK, Ireland is the laughing stock of Europe in this regard. The reason often given is because landowners are in such fear of the traveling community. If we weren’t an obese nation of fast food junkies, we’d probably do something about it lol

      I always laugh when people say they like living rurally for nature. In rural Ireland, where you can’t walk anywhere.

      Make some country roads one way and the other side is for bikes walkers and joggers.

      Every town over 4000 people will have a
      10km walking track with lights and security all year round.

      The countryside in Ireland has turned into an industrial monoculture focused on grass growth. The bare hills a sign of overgrazing. The contrast is stark compared to where I live in Germany. Living in the Frankfurt commuter belt, I can walk out into fields and then walk or bike all day though marked walking/hiking/biking trails over fields and through forests. Germany has 32% land forested, 42% in the state of Hesse where I am, despite having a much higher population density. Lynx and even wolves returning naturally. Ireland needs to up its broadleaf forests drastically, and open them up to the public.

      England (possibly all of UK? Not sure about the North) has the right to roam so it’s much easier to establish walks through private land. I understand why we don’t have similar here and I can imagine farmers would see it as a bollocks, but it does mean we’re lacking in walks. UK generally is much better at designating public lands as areas of natural beauty. National trust is outstanding as well and taken very seriously

      I remember walking on a path in England that went right through a farm yard.
      They have a long established rights of way that we dont have here

      I grew up in Scotland next to the old Kilpatrick hills, they were my play ground, no worries about trespassing, space to camp, wee bit of fishing, wee bit of hunting.

      No one said I couldn’t, no one tried to tell me *”this is my land”.*

      Ti’s better than England, not sure of Welsh land law mind.
