Rabbit Brook runs through a narrow valley. At the lower end stands the village of Lower Brook where the Brook runs into the Great Water. The main features of the Village are the three bridges that cross the Brook, the uniform stone cottages with shutters for windows, the Park next to the Great Water and the Drink Factory looked after by Sparkling Walter and his wife Min. Young adult bucks work there or on the Terraces way above the Valley only reached by Goose’s Neck, 400 winding steps leading up from by the Store and Store Bridge. Older bucks work on the Valley Vegetable Garden next to the Store. The Store Keeper, Pippy Pippin, looks after the Store with his wife Daisy. Their children, the twins Jim and Nat often play with their best friends Sandy Wood and Grace Fern. Once over Store Bridge, the climb up Craggy Path leads to Dance’s Corner where Lord and Lady Dance live in the majestic Dance House, with its large lawn and Blossom Tree.
