Points of interest

The High Stone Cairn

A large, ancient cairn situated on the highest hill in the area. Locals believe it marks the resting place of an important ancestor and that the site holds great power. Pilgrims sometimes visit to meditate or leave offerings.

The Windmill Fields

The village’s grain fields, dotted with tall windmills used to grind flour. The windmills stand high on the rolling hills, and in the late afternoon, the village is bathed in golden sunlight as the blades turn in the breeze.

The Golden Grove

A small stand of golden-leaved trees that grow along the edge of the hills. The trees’ unusual color makes this area a popular spot for foraging, though the grove is said to be haunted by the spirits of the hills.

The Shepherd’s Watch

A raised platform built into the hillside where the village shepherds can keep an eye on their flocks. The site offers a breathtaking view of the surrounding fields, and it’s a place of rest for weary travelers.

The Hilltop Hearth

A cozy, rustic inn built from local stone, perched on the side of one of the hills. The innkeeper, Tomas, is a jovial, hard-working man with a large family who are known for their warmth and hospitality. The inn’s specialty is wild mushroom stew and locally made cider.
