Fox House is a 17th-century Grade-II listed Inn,[1] located near the Longshaw Estate in the Peak District, near the border between South Yorkshire and Derbyshire in northern England.[2][3] The building is situated on the A6187 road.[4][5][6]

The inn was named for Mr Fox of Callow Farm in Highlow.

Nearby on Houndkirk Moor, a starfish site, an illuminated night-time decoy, was created during the Second World War to simulate Sheffield and divert German bomber attacks.[7]
