A unique stone arch built to commemorate the tragic and premature loss of the Villages main benefactor and his wife. A rather pleasant way to enter a charming village after driving through a mile or so of "tree tunnel" road. Lots of squirrels, weasels, pigeons and birds of prey on the road in. I worked in the area for 2 weeks and it was great to see so much wildlife
