What wonderfully evocative names these old inns have. "The Tickled Trout" simply has to be a favorite haunt of fishermen. The river over which the pub stands is rich in trout and crayfish, and the menu is based largely upon these gourmet delights.
   Centuries ago, great granite slabs were lowered into place here (by Stone Age man, David thinks), to form a bridge across the river. With their limited equipment, this was an astonishing feat for these early bridge builders. Centuries ago, too, a small fort was built here to protect and guard the river crossing.
   The fort fell into ruin a very long time ago. Finally, the debris was cleared away and some of the stones were given a new, useful purpose in life by being incorporated into the building of "The Tickled Trout."
