Blacksmiths Forge

Blacksmiths Forge The Blacksmith's Forge is typical of those which were once found in virtually every community in rural Ulster. The blacksmith played a vital part in the life of the countryside in years gone by, and our own blacksmith will be keen to talk to you and demonstrate his craft. This is a working forge, so be careful as you walk around.

Along the path from the Forge is the Weaver's Cottage.
