On N side of road, halfway between Shobdon and Lyonshall. Turn into lane on W side of house. Visitors may also walk round the water gardens of the early 18th century house. The gardens were supplied from the river Arrow. The water then fed a waterwheel here at the adjoining farm. Its main purpose was to grind feed for the herd of prize Hereford cattle. The 19th century low breastshot waterwheel and complicated iron gear is complete. It powered one pair of millstones, plus belt drives to whatever farm machines might be required. Opening Times
