Darkley House is ´a little out of the way for a lot out of the ordinary´

Welcome to a country house of hospitality and care. Darkley House has a history in the linen industry in the 18^th century and was the home of the industrious entrepreneur Mr Calvert who developed the mill village of Darkley . Unfortunately the mill closed in 1959 creating long term unemployment and a depressed and disappointed community.

Darkley House was a symbol of power and prestige in the linen period and decisions made in the house affected the whole region. History is revisited via Crossfire Trust which seeks to heal the past and restore confidence, hope and community aspirations for the future.
