The nearest train stations are Arlesey and Letchworth Garden City. Walking to the mill is not recommended. 

Do you have disabled access?

Are pushchairs and mobility scooters allowed?

There is limited space in the mill, regrettably mobility scooters are not allowed in the building. There is a manual wheel chair which is available for use. Where possible we would ask that pushchairs are left at the entrance. Mobility scooters, wheelchairs or pushchairs can be used in the Nature Reserve, in places the ground is uneven.

Are dogs allowed in the Mill and Nature Reserve?
