I just love this lovely old thatched cottage in Cregneash Village.
Life must have been so wonderful living in this village in years gone bye and no doubt very hard.

Cregneash Village and that famous Phone Box which used to be painted green.

Magnetic Hill Ronague
“Turn your car engine off and marvel as a magic stone pulls the vehicle uphill. Magnetic Hill is located on the A27 between Ronague and the Round Table crossroads. The slope is marked by this large stone on the roadside verge that is said to be part of a stone circle broken up a hundred years ago by a coven of witches”.
