...stone farmhouse, a visitor must start down a tiny, unmarked country lane that leads to two footpaths, each passing through separate farms and yards. Impressively large and vocal dogs patrol the neighbors' property. If an intrepid fan tried the back way, he would be stopped by an impenetrable bog...
