This unique collection of buildings offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the traditional methods of baking, milling, and forging that were once commonplace in the area.
The Old Bakery
The Old Bakery is a charming stone-built and partially rendered thatched building. It holds a significant place in history as it was the last traditional working bakery in the county when it ceased operations in 1987. Visitors can explore the bakery and see the old baking equipment that has been preserved.
The Forge
The Forge is the only thatched forge still standing in England. It offers a unique opportunity for visitors to see a blacksmith at work and even purchase the ironwork produced. This is a rare chance to witness traditional blacksmithing techniques in action.
