Newark Souterrain View all content for Newark

Visited 8.6.12 We parked in the car park right next to the beach and despite being windy the weather was fine. Karen, Sophie and Dafydd played on the beach while I followed the sign posted path (Aikerskaill road) around the headland to the site of the ruined chapel. It is only a 5 minute walk. The Souterrain was easy to spot; near the beach and blocked up with brieze blocks and stones. It looks as though the Souterrain has been exposed due to coastal erosion? A family of ducks paddled past, battling against the wind – good luck to them! If you are ever in this area try to also take in a visit to the nearby St Ninian’s church (Hogg-back grave) and the Gloup sea cave – both worth a visit in their own right.
