Sardinia has some of the wildest and most unexpected country in Europe. It is remote, seldom visited and inaccessible except on foot. Flocks of domestic sheep and goats graze the rough pastures, remote valleys and extensive areas of Barbagia (wilderness) as they have for thousands of years – keeping open the superb system of paths – old mining paths originating in Roman times, sheep and goat paths, and tracks used through centuries to link the most idyllic yet least known features of the island.
