New Hall Water Mill and the meadow field are privately owned
although surrounded by the New Hall Valley Country Park. They are
only open to the general public on specific Open Days, normally a
Sunday, each day from 10.00 am until 4.00 pm. See the Location Map & Open Days for the dates of
opening.
The Open Days are usually publicised in
the local press and on local radio. At all other times, school
visits and visits by local societies or organised groups may only
be made by prior arrangement.
Car parking is normally in a grass meadow. Visitors with
wheelchairs are advised to speak to the person adjacent to the
mill entrance gate who may be able to offer alternative options.
At peak times on busy days, car parking may be at Bishop Walsh
school, with a short walk to the mill.
Schools will find the Mill an ideal location for pupils to
study aspects of history, local studies, technology, science and
environmental education for sustainable development related to the
National Curriculum.
Please contact the Secretary for
further information.
Disabled Access
The Tea Room and adjacent Toilets, with baby-changing
facilities, are wheelchair 'friendly'. The Mill is located across
a well-compacted gravel covered yard but the ground floor of the
Mill, including the Engine Room, is accessible by wheelchair users
with assistance. Access to the upper floors of the Mill, including
the Stone Floor and Garner, is by stairs. A video of the Mill in
operation may be viewed in the Exhibition Room and is accessible
by wheelchairs. Parts of the Miller's Garden should also be
accessible, in particular the Flower Border where there is a brick
pathway.
