Step into a vanished rural crossroads where only traces remain. This evocative site reveals the story of a once-thriving hamlet centred around the Black Horse Inn (1853-75), a fascinating glimpse into the region’s early settlement and the forces that led to its disappearance. See inside three outbuildings from that era: a barn, smokehouse and stone-built former cheese factory from 1835.
