Neighbourhoods
A truly remote area. The least populated area in the least populated county in England. The land is mainly put to cows and sheep, although there are quite a lot of horse owners here too.
The wildlife is excellent. Deer, red squirrels ( although the grey are about) hares, stoats, otters, weasels, snipe, curlew, oyster catchers, peewits, buzzards and the odd kestrel.
The local family names have been here since the 15/16 Century and the reiving times, but now we have a peaceful place and a strong sense of community.
