More about this scene

A little back from the shore in the older part of the village, we see a rural-looking scene along a dusty, unmetalled road. More recently, St Margaret's was the home of two literary giants, Noel Coward and later Ian Fleming, who rented a house from Coward. It was here that Fleming wrote some of his James Bond novels.
