Demesne Mill Picnic Area — Attraction in England

This is dog walk Central, at least 3 different alks from this spot. Nice and easy upstream to a little wood where kids have made a den and have a rope swing (I did test, but I am a big kid) There is a memorial for a young person who died in the waters, Cold shock Is real, be careful around water! Another walk takes you across a well walked field, into the church yard, and either into the village or back into the field again. The church has some lovely grotesques. Back at the entrance-parking area of demesne Mill, there are 2 picnic tables which we put to good use. The ducks come to see what you have going spare, and if your lucky, you may hear the Kingfisher (we did) if your very lucky you may see it (mum did)

A lovely place to spend 15 minutes or all day, the place is what you make of it. I had a great time...

What a wonderful experience to find a free car park to encourage visiting the area, lovely walk to do, little brook beside the car park. Friendly locals saying good morning, and although the town has suffered some closure of shops, still some good ones to view, a great little gift shop, a butchers, a baker's/pantry come grocer, a wonderful lady displayed some slate artwork on her window ledge, knock the door and purchase one. The charity shop staff great, ask for something in the store and they will...

Nice place to walk with the dog along the river. Some parts of the river have quite steep sides so caution is needed if you have a small dog or young children. If you go up the steps from the carpark you'll find a large field where the locals exercise their pooches. Everyone seems to 'pickup' after their dogs which is good to see. 👏 The car park which used to be free now is not unless you are parking for no more than 30 minutes, otherwise...
