点评:Very pretty place, exceptionally maintained and free parking. The waterwheel was not working due to low water levels but the self guided tour was still well worth it. The entrance fee of £4 each is excellent value. There are plenty of exhibits and pictorial information. The place is steeped in history. We throughly enjoyed it. There is a shop inside the mill and we purchased some delicious muesli. So good that we went back a couple of days later to buy some more.
There is a cafe next door however we didn’t try this but plenty of customers were sitting at tables outside.
There is a lovely easy walk to Etal which is a very picturesque village. There you will find the remains of Etal castle which are well worth a visit. Free to enter. You can take a small light steam rail from heatherslaw to Etal but the walk is very easy and pleasant.
In fact the whole Ford Etal estate is a great place to visit. Walk from Ford straight through Heatherslaw then on to Etal. Total 2.5 miles each way. Easy walk well signposted.
Then drive to Flodden Battle field and the whole historical picture is complete.
One of the best days out we have had in a long time.
翻译:非常漂亮的地方,维护得非常好,而且停车免费。由于水位低,水车停转了,但这次自助游还是很值得的。每人4英镑的门票非常超值。这里有很多展品和图片信息。这个地方历史悠久,我们非常喜欢。磨坊里有一家商店,我们买了一些美味的麦片。味道好极了,以至于几天后我们又回去买了一些。
隔壁有一家咖啡馆,不过我们没有去,但很多顾客都坐在外面的桌子旁。
步行到埃塔尔(Etal)非常方便,这是一个风景如画的村庄。在那里你会发现埃塔尔城堡的遗迹,非常值得一游。免费入场。你可以从希瑟斯劳(Heatherslaw)乘坐小型轻轨到埃塔尔,但步行非常轻松愉快。
事实上,整个福特埃塔尔庄园都是一个值得游览的好地方。从福特庄园出发,直接穿过希瑟斯劳(Heatherslaw),然后到达埃塔尔。单程共2.5英里。步行路线轻松,路标清晰。
然后驱车前往弗洛登战场,整个历史画面就完整了。
这是我们很久以来度过的最美好的一天。
