THE GARDENS AND GROUNDS

There are very special waterside gardens and grounds. Running parallel on the two main boundaries is the River Dun which flows into the Mill pond which in turn continues into the Mill race and under the Mill itself. Running parallel is part of the original canal with carriers flowing across the gardens which are crossed by various bridges. There is an herbaceous garden, flowering shrubs, sweeping expanses of lawn studded with many varieties of trees. The gardens are filled with an abundance of wildlife including regular visits from deer, otters, swans, ducks, herons, house martins, swollows and woodpeckers.

There are two cottages, Kingfisher Cottage and The Barn, a summerhouse, and a pump house with washing facilities. The flats and cottages produce a very valuable income.

The fishing is primarily centred upon 197 yards (180m) of single bank to the main river and mill pond, plus a further 83 yards (76m) of double bank and the canal about 256 yards (234m) in total length. The rivers are teeming with trou t, while sea trout and salmon regularly migrate via the fish pass upstream.
