Drovers Fold is a development of 'executive' style houses on the site of the former Drovers Inn. The pub that stood at the crossroads was once a popular eating place, but it fell on hard times and was closed by 2008. Left empty for several years, it was mostly destroyed by fire in 2011 and despite a deal of controversy, this small development was erected on the site in more recent years.
