BSW3 8. At the foothills

Speaker: Helen MeehanFrom the Bluestack Way Part 3 playlist. Directions Make your way back through the fields to get back on the road. You’ll be turning left and carrying on down the road for some 300m before turning right. Follow the tarred road for approx 1km where it turns left through a gate onto an unsurfaced track. This track turns under a steep rock face on the side of the mountain to an old fashioned ruined homestead cottage, marked by a large Sycamore tree and old Fuschia hedges. This in turn is overshadowed by impressive cliffs lined with Rowan trees.  In our audio piece, Helen Meehan explains why Disert declined as a place of regular worship.
