Babington’s Cottage is owned and run by Margaret Babington. The cottage has recently been upgraded and reflects Margaret’s passion for the countryside and country pursuits.
Her family over the centuries have had a rich history including some notable forebares. The most famous of which was the geologist and President of the Geological Society, William Babington 1756-1833.
Babingtonite, a rare mineral was named after him and can be seen in the photograph opposite.
If you are interested in local geology, we highly recommend The James Hutton Trail.
