Absolutely grand!! The chap who let me in was super informative, and gave me loads of history before actually turning on the mill and letting me see firsthand how it works. Absolutely wonderful, and highly recommended.

Visited this lovely little water mill today, Mike was very knowledgeable and explained the history very well including the origin of certain phrases. Well worth a visit if you're in the area!

Very informative talk from staff member. Started the mill up for us and went into great detail about the position of the mill, it's importance in the community and how it all worked. Very interesting and definitely worth s visit. And as a bonus we got some cooking apples and nadexa lovely eve's pudding that evening.

Lovely little mill. The place was so tranquil and peaceful. So quiet, We could hear the birds singing the whole time. Lots of little paths to have a wonder by the river. The mill itself had an interesting history and the volunteer (regrettably cannot recall his name), responsible for the tour, was very friendly and accommodating. Fairly priced coffee too which just happened to be delicious.

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
