Bintry Watermill, located on the River Wensum, is thought to have stood at this location since 1454. The present mill is thought to date from the 1750s.

The watermill at Bintry was used in 1996 by the BBC for location work on their adaptation of George Eliot’s, "The Mill on the Floss."

The approach across the water meadows to the west of the mill is very scenic, with a short but sharp climb on the east bank immediately after the mill.

very pretty spot, bit of a steep hill back up to Bintree. not sure if you can get down to the water as looks very private
