St Clement's Church in Rodel

Dating back to the late 15th century, St Clement's Church in Rodel is one of the largest and most well-preserved medieval churches in the Outer Hebrides. St Clement's Church fell into disuse shortly after its completion due to the Protestant Reformation. However, the churchyard continued to serve as a burial site for the powerful MacLeod clan, further cementing its significance in Harris's cultural heritage.

St Clement's Church stands as one of the most iconic landmarks on the Isle of Harris.
Feel free to hike all the way to the top for a breathtaking view, but don't forget to pause along the way to take photos. The perspective changes constantly, and I personally found the half-way mark to be optimal, with the church tower rising majestically above the mountains. As you go further up, the church blends more into the landscape.
