Cregneash or Cregneish (Manx: Creneash) is a small village and tourist destination in the extreme south-west of the Isle of Man, about 1 mi (2 km) from Port Erin. Most of the village is now part of a living museum run by Manx National Heritage.[1] There are also a number of private homes in the village, but their external appearance is controlled to maintain an older look.[2] The village was also home to prominent Manx language speakers, Edward Faragher and Ned Maddrell.
