In 1935, Cresswell became connected to the mains water supply, marking a significant development in the community's access to water. Before this connection, villagers relied on a well as their water source. In 2019, residents took initiative to restore the well to operational status. Notably, the well is integrated into the boundary wall of the Pele tower, a structure classified as Grade II listed.

The Drift Cafe

Highlight • Cafe

I started my bike tour from the Drift Cafe and had scrambled eggs on toast and a vegetarian haggis roll to start the day (double breakfasts win), only 20m from the sands of Druridge Bay the cafe is ideal post coastal walk or during a cycle. The staff are very friendly and accommodating and can share great tips of the local area. There's loads of space to leave bikes too
