Books by Billy Colfer

This illustrated volume examines the environmental and historical influences that contributed to the development of the rich natural and cultural landscapes on the Hook peninsula, county Wexford. The diverse elements of the modern landscape and its inhabitants are identified, analysed and placed in their historical context.

Billy Colfer's Wexford Castles expands the IRISH LANDSCAPES series by taking a thematic approach, while still staying loyal to the central landscape focus. Rather than adapting a narrowly architectural approach, he situates these buildings in a superbly reconstructed historical, social, and cultural milieu.
