Overlooking the sea…the groove of rock at Scarlett known as Cromwell’s Walk has a flat place half-way along its ledge called Cromwell’s Chair. Sit on it and wish.
If you are favoured by the genius loci* your wish will come true in three hours, days, weeks, months, or years – there will be a three in it at all events. This belief dates back at least thirty years.
* genius loci = protective spirit of a place
