St Michael Church added to Places of Worship in Yorkshire and the Humber by Kcscott on 26/03/2024

Nice little church situated off the A1136 with a large car park Infront of it which can be very busy at times. Only Obstruction to watch out for is trees around the church perimeter.

The oldest part of the Church is Early English, which is known since there is a pillar supporting the south aisle roof which is 13th century. The small Church was rebuilt in 14th-15th centuries, though an extension built in the early 1900’s made the church much bigger.
The Church was extended in 1912-1914 by the building of the north part of the church, including the tower, the newer nave and chancel. They were built out of a bequest by Joseph Chapman, a timber merchant who is buried in the graveyard. Sir Walter Tapper, a renowned church architect, built them in a 13th century style. Unusually, part of this extension made to the Church included a new nave situated next to the church building, alongside what was then the current nave. The newer nave was much longer than the previous one and results in the Church having a somewhat unusual shape, being rather wide on the south side. This addition of a longer nave adjacent to a smaller one, meant it was difficult when in the ancient nave to see the altar at the front of the newer nave. As a result, the space when you enter the Church from the south door which is the ancient nave is now used as a hall space; whereas the 1900’s extension is used today for worship.

Bealach na Ba, Ross and Cromarty South West (By AlbionDrones)

The iconic Bealach na Ba, 'Pass of the Cattle' on the NC500, Applecross, WesterRoss, Scotland.

The road over the historic mountain pass was built in 1822 and is engineered similarly to roads through the great mountain passes in the Alps, with very tight hairpin bends that switch back and forth up the hillside and gradients that approach 20%. It has the greatest ascent of any road climb in the United Kingdom, rising from sea level at Applecross to 630 m (2,070 ft) in about 6 km (3.7 mi), and is the third highest mountain pass in Scotland.

A feature of the NC500 and mobbed during summer months we planned our recent NC500 trip to ensure we were able to take in this wonderful place for the first time - the last section of the NC500 we had left to do.

The drive is steep and twisting, and can be extremely busy, but in late October we only saw a handful of cars, and were fortunate that the weather was perfect, views that stretched for miles and late afternoon light with some drama in the skies.

There is a decent car park at the top, with plenty of space, amazing views over to Skye, Arochar, Rum and Eigg (when the weather plays ball), and the road has recently been resurfaced. As to difficulty, in a modern car it is not too bad, in a camper van it would be challenging. I would rate it not quite as difficult as Hardknott Pass in the Lake District, but not far behind...

No facilities at the car park, but plenty in Applecross and Lochcarron
