New Hall Mill is a splendid place, restored and run by wonderfully dedicated volunteers.
New Hall Mill is open again this Sunday for their Nature Day and I can heartily recommend the place. It’s fascinating and I had a great time there on Spring Bank Holiday Monday – not enough people know about this wonderful building.
It’s free to enter too (although donations are welcomed).
Alan Dawson, Friend of the mill, wrote to tell me all about Sunday’s event:
Hi Bob
Calling all nature lovers
This Sunday 12th July, is the Newhall Mill Nature open day, when in addition to experiencing the sights and sounds of a working 18th century water mill, visitors can meet representatives and see displays by the following organisations:

Newhall Valley Country Park Steering Group. A guided walk of Newhall Valley will take place in the afternoon at 2.15
Environmental Trust

And, for our younger visitors the opening of the Newhall Labyrinth, come and explore the paths through the long grass.
I totally geeked out over this wonderful place.

Best regards,
Alan Dawson – A friend of New Hall Mill.
This is certainly one worth visiting – please do pop along if you can. It is truly fascinating.
It’s not just the Mill, although that’s a gem itself – but the wonderfully tended grounds – plus a fine teashop!
