Lower Mill Estate’s one-stop portal to the great outdoors. Our team are on site and ready to assist with equipment hire, instruction and local information. You’ll find us near the water mill or check out our programme on the Activity Hub Facebook Page. Feel free to pre-book equipment so that it’s ready for you upon arrival.
Millstone Park
Set alongside the spa and Ballihoo Restaurant, Millstone Park completes the central hub of the estate. Created with the whole family in mind, there’s something for everyone to enjoy – an action-packed children’s play area, a volley ball court, two tennis courts, a soft play area and a 3G artificial turf multi-use games area (MUGA) that beckons you to call a game of five-a-side football with friends and family.
Ballihoo Market
Adjacent to the Ballihoo Restaurant, the Market stocks all manner of local provisions as well as those basic necessities you just can’t do without. You’ll find logs for the fire and local meats for the BBQ, but zero waste here, part of our efforts to make the estate environmentally responsible. If you just fancy an afternoon in the sun with a paper and fresh coffee, you’ll find that here too, although we can’t promise the sun part.
Wildlife
Around every twist and turn at Lower Mill Estate, lies a new adventure, where youngsters can explore to their heart’s content. Guides will bring the rushes to life on our Into The Wild Walk. Old and young will delight in paddling across the lagoon to spot nocturnal beavers and otters on the Sunset Adventure Safari, rounded off with toasting marshmallows on the fire. Or let the Cotswold Birdwatching Company entertain the aspiring twitchers amongst the flock, with a two-hour guided walk around the estate.
Miss Mouse Trail
Inspired by Lower Mill Estate’s founder, Jeremy Paxton, and brought to life in his memory, the Miss Mouse Adventure Trail encourages children to get to know as many species as possible around the estate. We have developed a cast of characters from his imagined children’s book, “Miss Mouse Builds a House” and incorporated them into the quest. Collect a map from the Miss Mouse meeting hut and head out into the wild to find the hidden treasure. Open April to October.
Soft Play
For little adventurers, our nature themed soft play in Millstone Park offers the perfect indoor space for them to play and make new friends. They can crawl, jump and slide through the various obstacles whilst grown-ups can take a seat as they supervise their little ones.
