Eggy-Peggy Lane
Highlight • Trail
The origin of the name is in doubt. Many people say it is because it was a good place for bird nesting (and collecting eggs which is now illegal) plus the fact that gypsy caravans sometimes parked on the lane to cut wood from the hazel trees to make their traditional clothes pegs to sell in the area.
A very old name for the hawthorn tree was the Heg-Peg Tree so (as the hedges were mainly hawthorn and hazel) Eggy Peggy Lane may be a corruption of Heggy Peggy Lane!
