Ancient Washhouse

Ancient Washhouse, mantained well clean by a group of local volunteers

Beware: Guard dogs

They are excellent guards for their flocks. They are trained to “escort away” the intruder without attacking

In case of a close meet up you’re requested to:

  • Stay away from sheeps and dog
  • Show no aggressive behaviours
  • Proceed or move away calmly, without running
  • Keep your dog on a leash
  • Get off your bicycle
