In 2019, Gwen Wilkinson set herself the challenge of building a canoe and paddling it the length of Ireland, along a network of inland waterways. She set out from the shores of Lough Erne and navigated a 400 km journey to the tidal waters of the River Barrow in Ireland.
More than just a travelogue, The Waters and the Wild explores the interwoven histories of the people and wildlife that shaped Gwen's journey. As the adventure unfolds, she also shines a light on pioneering women who have left their mark on Ireland's landscape both natural and cultural.
From wild camping on deserted islands to drifting on lakes in the company of restless lapwings, this book invites the reader to share an intense engagement with the natural world. The charming text is accompanied by the author's own striking lino and woodcut prints, beautiful and though-provoking interpretations of the flora and fauna she observed on her travels.
Gwen Wilkinson paddled to explore, searching for inspiration and a desire to learn more about the island we inhabit, and she was met with experiences rich and illuminating, far beyond her expectations.
