Blacksmiths Arms

Blacksmiths Arms is a listed pub in Broughton West featuring a whitewashed stone facade and traditional interior layout. The building contains multiple rooms spread across two floors, with flagstone floors and stone construction throughout.

The building started as a farmhouse in 1577 and converted into an inn with a blacksmith's workshop in 1748. This transformation reflected the area's shift from purely agricultural use to a hub for trade and hospitality.

The name refers to the blacksmith's craft that once operated here, reflecting the area's working heritage. Today, visitors can experience how such places served as community gathering spots where locals came together.

The pub operates throughout the week with varying opening times depending on the day. Visitors should check current hours before planning a visit, as these may change seasonally.

Two rooms still retain their original gas lighting fixtures from earlier times. Another space preserves the historic cooking range and fireplace that remain visible to visitors today.
