Relax and regenerate



Astride the River Bure in North Norfolk and located in its own park-like gardens of some 2.5 acres, The Mill offers a uniquely relaxing experience where the sounds of the river and birdsong predominate, and where your mobile phone won't ring! (Coverage available just up the road).

The gardens around the mill provide a haven for wildlife with a wide variety of birds in particular. Mute swans, herons, little grebe and cormorants are regular visitors. Resident water birds include coots, moorhens, mallard and kingfishers. Barn owls can be regularly seen in the paddock hunting mice and pygmy-shrews. Regular garden birds include tits of all persuasions, tree-creepers, green and greater spotted woodpeckers, chiff-chaffs, finches, jays, wrens, robins and wagtails amongst others. The millpond is home to both rainbow and brown trout of enormous size. These are fed during the summer and so fishing is not allowed in this location. A wide variety of coarse fishing is available in the area - for example in the lake at nearby Blicking Hall.

The Mill uses a micro-hydro-turbine to produce electricity that is fed into the National Grid.

The owners provide excellent breakfasts featuring local produce, including fresh home-grown raspberries and strawberries in season. As well as Bed and Breakfast there are two self-contained holiday cottages recently converted from the original cow sheds and stables.

Great food is available from a variety of good quality restaurants and pubs. The award winning Walpole_Arms_public_house is at the end of the drive a couple of minute's walk away. Other pubs and restaurants can be easily incorporated into a pleasant day's walk or a short drive.

As a location for a holiday in North Norfolk the Mill is ideal. It is close enough to the main sights to be convenient but far enough away to avoid the crowds. Sheringham and the coast are 10 miles north. Wroxham and The Broads are about 12 miles away, either by car or by narrow-gauge railway from Aylsham. There are plenty of walks and relatively easy cycling in the area. There is also a wide variety of historic houses and sites including Blickling Hall, Mannington Hall and Walsingham.

The village of Itteringham hosts a well-stocked village store serving coffees and teas (5 minutes walk). Other shopping is available at Aylsham (4 miles) and Holt (8 miles). Norwich is a 35 minute drive away.
