  1. The Red House

    Share Share Post
    From the Red House there are two passages, one opening at Castle - Co. Hill, and the other opening at the Big Furze. These were used by smugglers who smuggled silks and wines in times of war.
    In a pool outside the Red House there is a stone, and it said that if you stand on it you would turn into a stone.
