Welcome to the Cherrybank Inn

Something of our history

The Cherrybank Inn has been a popular venue for passing travellers for over 200 years - from its days as a drover's inn, where the horse-drawn carriages stopped for a break - a necessity before tackling the rest of the climb, hence the nearby Necessity Brae.
