Worth going out of your way to find, this country pub in town was built in 1853 by Thomas Wallis and has been a focus for the local community ever since.

A recent renovation has not altered the basic layout of the pub. There is a traditional public bar area at the front, while the larger but cosy saloon bar leads through to a rear extension and sheltered garden.

The pub is renowned for its annual walk in June for local charity, which has been held for over 40 years.
