Gairs House was the building where the manager of the nearby mines lived. It also served as an office. It has been out of use for a long time. It's a good place to take a short break and relax. Additionally, if you're with children, there's a tree nearby with a shape that's ideal for them to play and climb a bit.

Nice spot for a break and if you’ve got kids with you an excellent tree for them to play on.
