Eary Cushlin & Creggan Mooar

Coastal scenery, amongst the most spectacular to be seen anywhere in the British Isles, greets the walker along the path from the old Eary Cushlin farm (now used as an outdoor activity centre) to the ancient Keeill (chapel) at Lag ny Keeilley. Heathland, sheep-grazed grassland, bracken-covered steep ‘brooghs’ (slopes) and wet flushes are home to unusual plants such as the parasitic Sundew, and heath-loving insects such as Tiger Beetles and Dark-green Fritillary butterflies. The path to the keeill passes the old Chibbyr ny Vashtey (Well of Baptism), another place of past pilgrimage on this now remote and beautiful coast. .
