Crockenhill is a beautiful little gem surrounded by green open fields and patches of woodland, built on a history of pottery and tile production due to it's heavy clay soil with evidence today in roads such a Tyler's Green and the nearby Tile Kilns Wood. Today's thriving village has a strong sense of community and identity, fiercely protected by the locals.
