The Winking Man

Winking Man Hill
Rock shaped like a witches face
Drive past and it winks at you
Winking Man Hill it’s known as
But you daren't wink back 

Wink at the man, you may crash
There’s no-one to help you there
Except the Winking Man pub
Bed, Board and Garage

It is an outcrop and there is a rock behind it and at a certain point the two cross each other and it looks like it winks at you xx
