Clicket is now a set of crumbling ruins - until the end of the 1800s it was a thriving community. There was a mill and a quarry that provided lime. You can approach it from the Luxborough side where a path starts at Bakers Farm. It passes down into a steep sided valley through woods. Of Clicket itself there is nothing but a collection of roofless tumble-down buildings. The area has a interesting atmosphere engendered by the secluded valley and the woods. There are extensive signs of past quarrying and several lime kilns. The valley abounds in streams.
The Dunkery Field Bowman practice in the area and so do not be surprised to suddenly see a bear or wild boar in the woods. These are not real but are just targets, however, they can make one jump if seen out of the corner of an eye.
