Bleasdale Circle, a Bronze Age circular earthwork, originally with an outer ring (at ) and possibly aligned with the sunrise of the Summer Solstice. Bleasdale Church of England Primary School (closed in August 2019). The Parish Hall, built in 1929. The former post office, housed in the forge opposite Higher Brock Mill (at ) on the River Brock, supporting brown and rainbow trout. From 1947 to 2002 the post office housed a café for locals, cycling and hiking folk to refresh, fitted with a well, dating from about 1700, beneath the building. In the early 1900s, "Jack Custard" was renowned there for the quality of his custard tart.
