Our story.

A wayside inn steeped in history.

Located next to the Forest of Bowland, Ye Horns Inn has welcomed locals and travellers alike over the years. Originally a coaching inn called the Buck Horns, dating back to 1782, it was originally part of a working farm.

During the inter-war period the interior was partially refitted which coincided with render and mock timber being applied to the exterior. This, and the creation of dining rooms, is thought to be an attempt to provide an ‘improved’ pub, popular at the time and stemming from a desire to cut back on the amount of drunkenness associated with conventional Victorian and Edwardian public houses.

Fast forward a few decades and the building was granted a Grade II listing in January 2017 based on its architectural value and the retention of the pub’s interior. Its distinctive characteristics have also earned it a listing on the Campaign for Real Ale’s National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors.

A new lease of life came in 2018 when new owners were sought and plans for redevelopment were approved. With sensitive renovation work being undertaken to retain the original charm and character, Ye Horns Inn is once again open to the public ready for its next chapter.
