点评:We visited here and were immediately impressed by the beautiful and well kept surroundings around the mill, well laid out with picnic tables among historic apple trees that alone would have made the visit worthwile. But the mill itself is an amazing glimpse into the past, as a social hub, a brilliant piece of engineering and of course the vital mill for the surrounding farms and villages. Brought to life by the NTS rep on site, Mike, our visit was hugely enhanced by his knowledge and enthusiasm.
Having seen the mill we took the beautiful walk around the site following the Lade up and past the Mill Pond to the weir which diverts the water required by the mill to the pond. We even managed to spot the local Kingfisher as it flashed past. The water obviously returns to the stream once it has performed its task and is a great example of real sustainable enegry. Can't recommend this visit enough.
翻译:我们参观了这里,工厂周围美丽且维护良好的环境立即给我们留下了深刻的印象,历史悠久的苹果树中摆放着野餐桌,仅此一点就让这次访问值得。但磨坊本身是对过去的惊人一瞥,作为一个社交中心,一个出色的工程作品,当然也是周围农场和村庄的重要磨坊。 NTS 现场代表 Mike 为我们带来了生动的体验,他的知识和热情极大地增强了我们的访问体验。
参观完磨坊后,我们沿着 Lade 沿着工厂周围美丽的步道,经过磨坊池塘到达堰,堰将磨坊所需的水转移到池塘。我们甚至发现了当地的翠鸟,它一闪而过。一旦完成其任务,水显然会返回溪流,这是真正可持续能源的一个很好的例子。强烈推荐这次访问。
