On N side of road, halfway between Shobdon and Lyonshall. Turn into lane on W side of house.
Large car park is within 50 yards on right-hand side.
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 complex iron gear is complete. It powered one pair of millstones, plus belt drives to
farm machinery.
