DescriptionThe House in the Rock - geograph.org.uk - 536071.jpg
English: The House in the Rock This curious building was constructed by Thomas Hill, a local linen weaver between 1770 and 1791. Four rooms, one above the other, were hewn out of the rock, and Thomas lived here with his wife and 6 children. The castellations were added later and the building became known as 'Fort Montague'. The smaller separate building [top right] was a tea room. The house was a tourist attraction for many years until 1996. Not currently open to visitors.
