Cregneash

Cregneash or Cregneish (Manx: Creneash) is a small village and tourist destination in the extreme south-west of the Isle of Man, about 1 mi (2 km) from Port Erin.

[3] In the workshop a blacksmith demonstrates some of the tools and techniques used to make horseshoes and other metal equipment of the time.

[5] Annual Manx festivals are held in Cregneash and it is home to a flock of the rare four-horned Loaghtan sheep.

[6] Due to the village's relative isolation from other urban areas on the Island, it is one of the 26 Dark Sky Discovery Sites in the Isle of Man.

Manx language poet and author Edward Faragher was born and raised in the village, and wrote extensively about his experiences there, particularly focusing on the practices and attitudes of the older generations of the 19th century:[10]I think it a great shame to Manx folk that cannot speak their native language.

[12] In the summer of 1947 Irish Taoiseach Éamon de Valera visited him at Harry Kelly's cottage in Cregneash as part of his trip to the Isle of Man.
