THE OLD FORGE
The Old Forge is the 375 year old heart of the village. This ancient blacksmith’s smithy and cottage, with its roaring forge, red brick, thatched roof, work benches, wooden beams, outbuildings and magical garden is now the home of the Shepherd family and their Smithy Art Forgery concept. Art and jewellery grace the house. Discussion, music and poetry groups occasionally visit the Smithy. The garden’s yurt is available for group glamping, spiritual and wellbeing experiences. With a wood burning stove, it is winter friendly.
