The watermill, in its idyllic setting on the River Ivel, is unique with three fully accessible floors to view, and features an overshot waterwheel which is the widest in the country.
The mill stands in an eight acre Local Nature Reserve with plantings of native trees, hedges and a wildflower meadow.
There is a lovely one mile walk with a wide grass path which ambles through the meadows and along the riverside. There are handy signposts and information panels strategically positioned around the walks with a shelter, benches and picnic tables at various points.
