Some reports say the corridor runs between Churches III and IV but some say it is longer.
At one time the island was said to be ruled by a Queen whose skin was extremely sensitive to the sun. A covered road was built from her palace to the sea so she could walk out of the sun to the water’s edge for a swim.
According to another local tale the island was a pirate stronghold at one time and given its location on this lonely bit of coast, where a look-out on the high hills above could signal the approach of ships going north or south, it would seem a likely location for the thinking pirate to base himself.
