点评:National Trust should have more properties like this. Slap bang in the middle of Winchester’s city centre, surrounded by the shops on the high street and easily reached by public transport, this mill is packed full of character and deserving of the efforts made to save it.
It’s currently free of charge to enter, but to be honest I would have been annoyed at paying an entrance fee; the mill wheel is currently out of action and none of the display models for grain and so on were working. It was a bit sparse inside the barn area, but I think they were in the process of taking down Christmas decorations.
We were excited to learn about the otters, though we didn’t spot any with the binoculars provided - it was the middle of the day. The recorded footage is enjoyable to watch too. There’s a little boat shaped garden that sits in the middle of the river to explore and a small cafe and bookshop.
The mill wheel downstairs and the loud and dramatic rush of water through the mill stream are the highlight. It’s a small property but so interesting and so in tune with its surroundings.
The lady on the desk was friendly and we made a donation and left with an otter badge. You won’t be in here long, but it’s definitely worthwhile if you’re visiting Winchester. If you’re accompanied by small children, the playground and gardens directly across the road are perfect for a run-around afterwards.
翻译:国家信托应该有更多这样的遗产。这座磨坊位于温彻斯特市中心,周围是大街上的商店,搭乘公共交通即可轻松抵达,充满特色,值得为保护它而付出努力。
目前免费入场,但说实话,我会很讨厌支付入场费;磨坊轮目前停止运转,谷物等展示模型都无法使用。谷仓区域内有点稀疏,但我认为他们正在拆除圣诞装饰品。
我们很高兴了解水獭,虽然我们没有用提供的双筒望远镜发现任何水獭——当时是中午。录制的镜头也很有趣。河中央有一个小船形花园可供探索,还有一家小咖啡馆和书店。
楼下的磨坊轮和水流过磨坊溪流的喧闹和戏剧性奔流是亮点。这是一家小酒店,但非常有趣,与周围环境非常协调。
前台的女士很友好,我们捐了钱,还带走了一枚水獭徽章。你不会在这里待太久,但如果你来温彻斯特旅游,这里绝对值得一去。如果你带着小孩,马路对面的游乐场和花园非常适合游玩后四处奔跑。
