Rock Inn
This was always known as Rock Inn, Haytor when I visited. I got to know a few of the local families, most of which are long gone. Courtier, Clifton, Morrish, Middleweek, Ford to name but a few. The Rock Inn was always very popular in the summer, cars often parked more than half-way up Inverness Hill at Sunday lunchtime.
There used to be a tennis court at the top of the garden opposite, never used as far as I know. I left Devon in 1975 and have never been back to The Rock Inn.

RE: RE: Rock Inn
I spent my life in Haytor until I was 12 years old. My family lived in Dunkery Lodge, which overlooked the village. We left in 1973. I spent many an afternoon playing in the garden opposite the Rock Inn with the local kids. We often "used " the tennis court, but never for tennis. I must have been in that garden a hundred times but can only remember being inside the Inn once. We used to race through the village on our bicycles. I remember being stopped by the owner of the Rock after nearly running over one of his patrons.
