    Is there anywhere in the country where I could hike and camp legally for 3 or 4 days without trespassing? Is Ireland too small to have a swathe of wilderness this big? I don't mind getting a permit if it's in a national park or forest. I've never gone camping or hiking in Ireland before so excuse my naivete, I'm just hoping to go a few days without seeing anyone and to enjoy the flora and fauna our country has to offer.

    Thanks

    Aye, there's a fair amount of places. You can hike and camp in a lot of Coillte forests either legally or illegally, but they won't care in you're not making a mess. Any particular part of the country?
