This is the valley, a little past the Peel Forest, where you first hit the valley proper.
At the end of the road you find Mesopotamia settlement. Butler lived around here somewhere, a bit of a walk from the road we were on though, so instead I photographed the school.
And the AA sign.It was while living around here that Butler wrote Erewhon. You can read it here - if you like.

I used to have holidays near there as a kid......
Didn't we decide that the mound between the school and the former war memorial was Sam's house? Good thing he wasn't home as it might have been a bit awkward with him inviting us in for tea, and being all house-proud and that, and us trying desperately not to point out his house was just a lump of dirt. I hear Will Shakespeare has a much nicer house - a restored tudor cottage or something. Just goes to show how support for the arts here compares to other countries.
