Pretty cottages beside the main village street with one displaying a punky lantern. October 31st is Hallowe'en and this coincides with the ancient Celtic festival of Samain, when ghosts, witches and fairies walk abroad. Punky lanterns are hollowed-out mangle-wurzels or pumpkins with a lighted candle inside illuminating a carved face.
