The coast path approaches this steep ravine on the west edge of the settlement. Freathy, on the far side, is well described at http://www.jbutler.org.uk/e2e/sccp/w15/index.shtml : "an entire community of holiday chalets, huts and shacks, in a seemingly random layout ... There are two schools of thought about Freathy - it's either a place of unique charm or it's an unsightly, ramshackle mess. You decide." On this sunny day, I tended towards the former, though the settlement lacks any of the facilities you might expect in a village.
