We parked at the Midgehole upper car park, unbeknownst to us, there was a car park a bit closer. Nevertheless, we parked, donned our sun cream, hats and picnic and set off to the Mill via the riverside walk.
Lovely walk in which you could spend a couple of hours meandering through the forest, playing by the river and spotting wildlife. Not a walk for those with bad knees or who may struggle with mobility (the walk was suggested to be a easy-moderate walk, we were pooped by the end!). There is a tarmacked road which would suit wheelchair/pushchair users however, but a lot of this was uphill going to the mill.
We would've carried on to the waterfall, but the heat and how tored we were from the riverwalk, we decided to leave it for another day.
The mill itself was closed for a private function, which was a shame, however the cafe and bookshop(?) was still open for public access - not a large selection of drinks in the cafe though. Lots of seating available outside for picnics etc.
Toilets were interesting; very small stalls, but reasonably maintained.
Lovely views and all in all, a good day out in nature.
