I could use a looser tap and maybe with a manual. As a disabled and elderly person, I do NOT have the strength for the faucet that is there and which is not for normal people ???. The gardeners had also removed more than DKK 400 worth of planted flowers instead of helping to water in the heat we have had this summer. You are mad ?????

Worth seeing church. One should not overlook the grave in the basement alcove. Very neat cemetery with a good view of the bridge to Møn.

Clickimin Broch

The Broch of Clickimin is a large and well preserved, though somewhat restored broch near Lerwick. Originally built on an island in Clickimin Loch (now increased in size by silting and drainage), it was approached by a stone causeway. The water-level in the loch was reduced in 1874, leaving the broch high and dry. The broch is situated within a walled enclosure and, unusually for brochs, features a large 'blockhouse' between the opening in the enclosure and the broch itself. Another unusual feature is a stone slab featuring sculptured footprints, located in the causeway which approached the site. Situated across the loch is the Clickimin Leisure Centre.
