Boulder House — Attraction in Fafe

This is a great place to visit, ideally on a windy day when the turbines are spinning and making an unworldly sound which adds to the unreal experience of being up here.

So, Google Maps will give you great directions but be aware, it's up an unmade road which is narrow and very steep. You'll be asking whether your horrid hire car will make it. I got up there in a Renault Captur with four people on board. This is one of the very worst cars I've had the misfortune to hire so if this will go up, pretty much anything will.

As the driver, you'll want to know that the road gets better and also that there are loads of places to turn around and park.

Ideally park a few hundred yards from the house and walk so you get a feel of the landscape. Usually you can't walk this close to wind turbines and they are quite imposing.

The person doing it was very friendly and very detailed in the explanation of the house and it's story. Our guide was the son of the original builders and we were able to get additional insights of the house.

So far it's still for private use but it could be for renting. I'd definitely go there just for its quietness, relaxing and unstressing from the modern and technological world.

It's close to the famous rally...

I'm glad I read the reviews before going so I wasn't too disappointed! The fence around the house was indeed quite vast. I wonder what has happened? Does the house have a new owner or did someone do something to the house?

Anyways, I didn't feel welcomed though this had been a dream of mine to see. I didn't even know there used to be a way to get inside. I watched a video of the indoors and it looks so cool!

If it was my house I wouldn't want random people in or around the house either. The owner is lucky to have this peace of history and...
