Pennan Inn
The red telephone box as seen on Local Hero in 1983. Still there to this day and probably one of the biggest visitor attractions.
The village of Pennan
The only local resident we saw
Angel Cottage. Obviously owned or rented by an Artsy-Farty type. That has to be the most miserable Angel I've seen. Maybe preparing for the wave pounding she'll get once winter sets in.
Another Artys-Farty display. No boats within 50 miles need a mooring rope of this size but it does look good.

Crovie (pronounced Crivie)
The unique conservation village of Crovie deserves the title of best preserved fishing village in Europe. It perches precariously at the edge of the shoreline under high cliffs. The only road in is steep and twisting and visitors are asked to park in the car park and walk down into the village. It can also be reached by the original access, a footpath from Gardenstown. The village has no road so the local's goods and belongings are transported by barrow along the narrow walkway.
Before the great storm of 1953 Crovie had a population of 300. The village was almost washed away and the residents sold their cottages to summer visitors. Many artists and photographers are attracted to this magical place and the locals host an art competition entitled “The End of the Pier” which attracts prominent artists from all over the country

You can see where the cars are parked and access from there is by foot
The footpath leading to Gardenstown. Not to be tackled in rough weather
