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 the second Sunday of each
month, from May to September, 10.00 am until 4.00 pm. These 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 entrance gate
who may be able to offer alternative options.
The Tea Room and adjacent Toilets, with baby-changing facilities,
are wheelchair 'friendly'. The Mill is located across a gravel covered
yard but the ground floor of the Mill, including
the Engine Room, and the Exhibition Room, are accessible by wheelchairs
with assistance. Access to the upper floors of the Mill, including
the Stone Floor and Garner, is by stairs.
Schools will find it 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.
