Description
Set amid beautiful Dartmoor countryside in the village of Sticklepath, this last remaining water-powered forge in England gives a unique insight into village life in the 19th century. In its heyday the foundry made 400 tools a day, including sickles, scythes and shovels for West Country farmers and miners. Note: narrow entrance to car park. Height restrictions apply.

Don't miss
Demonstrations and tours of the machinery every hour.
Watch the large waterwheels driving the tilt hammer and grindstone.
Learn about the lives of the foundry owners and workers.

Making the most of your day
Family activities, vintage vehicle rallies and moorland walks. Dogs: welcome in all areas except tea-room, shop and foundry during demonstrations
