“Sometimes the road ahead leads us back to the roots we never knew were calling us home.”
The Wicklow Way and Other Irishman’s Tales follows Doug McPhillips on a new adventure inspired by the completion of his Camino de Santiago. A chance encounter with a mural depicting a musician playing the Irish uilleann pipes awakens a curiosity about his Irish heritage and leads him to the land of his ancestors.
