Clapton in Gordano is a village in North Somerset. It is situated on the southern side of the Gordano valley, immediately adjacent to the M5 motorway. Half a mile to the west of the village there is a manor house (now a farm), and a 13th century church dedicated to St Michael. Near the village is Clapton Moor, 40 hectares of grassland owned and managed by the Avon Wildlife Trust. Another notable historic building in the village is The Black Horse pub, a 14th century inn and former magistrate's gaol. The pub inn is currently run by Nick Evans and his wife Jane. It holds regular Monday night live music and is a favourite of locals and non-locals alike. In addition to the usual beers, wines, and spirits, the pub still serves real ales from a chilled stillage counter inside the bar and a range of traditional rough and bright ciders is available. Food is served only at lunchtimes.
