Location:

The island of Lewis has many places of interest. One of the highlights would be a visit to the Butt-of-Lewis to see its impressive lighthouse and even more so the cliffs where nesting sea birds and dramatic scenery makes an unforgettable experience.
Eoropie has a lovely children's play area where you can spend most of the day there and a further up the road there is a tea room where you can relax with a cup of tea, cofee and home baking. Close to the play park there is a lovely sandy beach.
Also in Eoropie there is St Moluag's church which dates back to the 12th century and is the oldest church in use in the Western Isles. Open throughout the summer months and visitors are welcome.
In Port-of-Ness there is Harbour View Gallery where you can purchase paintings, prints and greetings cards. Ness Heritage Centre (communn eachdraidh nis) provides an insight into the local history of the area. You will also find there an archive of photographs, documents etc.
