A view across the hillsides to this remote settlement in the forest. The area in front of the cottages has been recently cleared of conifers, presumably giving the place more light as well as a view down valley. A local person suggested that at one time there were several families of shepherds up here and that there was even a school, although old 6 inch maps don't reveal anything. Access now is along the valley bottom road which is largely a surfaced track suitable for 4X4 vehicles.
