Cliasmol Beehive Dwellings Guided Walk

Posted on: by nhtmain

Thurs 29th August 1-4pm

Cliasmol Beehive Dwellings

Meet: Cliasmol School on the Hushinish road (NB 085 061), Distance: 2 miles

Level: Grade B

This is a short walk across the moor to a well preserved bee-hive dwelling. This unique igloo-shaped  structure was once used as accommodation through the summer months by people taking cattle to graze the hill ground. Although a very short walk, this is a route across rough boggy ground so sturdy footwear is essential.
