Cregneash is a living folk village on the island's southern uplands, where thatched whitewashed cottages preserve the crofting way of life that survived here into the 20th century. Costumed demonstrators work traditional crafts, and rare Manx Loaghtan sheep graze the surrounding fields. The village sits close to the cliffs overlooking the Calf of Man, so a visit pairs naturally with a coastal walk.
