The Heart Of Worsthorne
Standing proudly in the centre of Worsthorne next to the historic church of St John The Evangelist. The Bay Horse as we know it today was constructed in 1899 during the reign of Queen Victoria replacing the original Elizabethan farmhouse which was The Old Bay Horse Inn. So for over 120 years, the Bay Horse has been right at the heart of the village. An imposing building, it is a wonderful example of Victorian architecture and displays some of the architectural refinement and decoration that had become common during this period around the 1870s.
While visiting us you will find yourself in an area of outstanding natural beauty in the foothills of the Pennines. Long walks out exploring the hills, lakes and hidden treasures of the area can be relived and savoured whilst enjoying our superb selection of drinks, selected wines and of course a freshly prepared and locally sourced menu. Only a short wander from the pub and you will find yourself surrounded by the hills and valleys which inspired the Bronte sisters with miles of hiking, bike and horse riding trails to choose from. A simple short stroll around Hurstwood or the Mary Towneley loop is also an option before lunch or dinner as we are ideally positioned as a start and end point for your day. Or you can just let us look after you and have a relaxing visit by the fire.
