An intimate stone-built hostelry which has long been a destination pub on the edge of the moors with panoramic views. It's handy for walkers and not far from the Toughsheet Stadium. The inn is some 200 years old and is named after a local blacksmith who allegedly spent more time in the pub than he did in his smithy across the road. This is a genuine free house which offers guest beers from small independent breweries. Dogs are welcome but not in the food areas. there is a covered smoking area at the side of the pub.
