Looking down the hill from Penslade the roofs of houses and cottages in The Slade can be seen descending in stepped formation. One or two of them may date back 200 years - there were thriving fishing and boat building industries in the harbour below as well as two lime kilns. The wooded area behind is the steep bank behind St Mary's church (belfry visible above).
