OUR AREA
Explore Pairc - the hidden jewel of Lewis.
Pairc is a traditional crofting community where Gaelic is still spoken daily with a compelling history of land rights struggles. Whilst it is a busy place with much to see and do, it is also known for its majestic wildlife and views which make it a great option for extended stays which make use of ample walking and cycling routes. Ravenspoint is the perfect base from which to discover more about the life and culture of islanders past and present. Our community hub is also an ideal place to consider the future of vibrant rural communities now that the estate is in community ownership.
Ravenspoint Café and Museum
Our volunteer-run, self service café (Mon-Sat) is now open for the season with a range of wonderful baking and fine pieces alongside a high quality bean-to-cup coffee machine and other drinks in a welcoming setting. The café is open during shop hours (11:00-16:30). We have a team of museum volunteers (in-season) to welcome you too, so please do take the time to ask questions and learn about our wonderful community during your visit.
