Grade II listed farmhouse and former water mill with mill pond. The mill was first built in the 11th century. In the late 1700s, it was taken over by the Spokes family. In 1815, the earlier buildings were demolished and the mill was rebuilt with locally quarried stone from nearby Duston. The Spokes family owned the mill until 2021.

Lovely woods, be respectful and stick to the paths 👍

In order to get from the canal to the footpath over the hill you have to cross the West Coast Main Line via the road bridge. There is no direct access to the bridge from the canal so you have to carry on to the next Canal bridge and follow the road round and over from there.
