Clarion Club House

They were a series of rural facilities which provided accommodation for the various local clubs affiliated to the National Clarion Cycling Club. The cycling journalist, Kuklos (i.e.Fitzwater Wray), was a supporter of the Clarion Cycling Clubs who wrote for "The Clarion Cyclist". In 1936 he described a circular route taking in four of the clubhouses. Dore Moor Clarion Club House.
