1 ~~~ This New 100-mile Hiking Trail in Ireland Comes With a Remarkable History Lesson ~ Travel & Leisure ~~~ Visitors to Ireland can now walk along its new 102-mile path that traces the ill-fated journey of emigrants during the 1847 famine.
In September, the country launched the National Famine Way, which follows the footsteps of 1,490 emigrants who walked from Strokestown, Co Roscommon, to Dublin, hoping to escape the famine. It now doubles as both a live history lesson as well as a hiking and cycling trail.
