The Mill of Benholm is a historic watermill located in a natural topographic depression (hollow) with the orginal access still used to this day which makes access more challenging for some. The buildings are Category A listed and over 300 years old and might not be as easy accessible as a moderhn building.
A newly build footpath leads from the car park to the Mill buildings and the Café at the Mill. The distance from the car park is approximately 200 meters and the path, though shallower as the orignial access road, might be to steep for some. It is shallow enough to be used by electric wheelschairs.
The Upper Mill accessible from the outside via the original doors, and the inside is well lit, with wooden surface allowing access to the kiln and mill stones.
The Lower Mill is not that well lit and more difficult to access from the outside due to the historical doors.
The Café at the Mill is accessible and well lit, the toilets include a disabled toilet.
All paths are of natural surfaces (grass, sand, stones) and in some areas due to the topogrphy of the side in some areas steep.
We operate a non vehicle policy at the Mill of Benholm beyond the car park, but if you require vehicular access for drop off and pick up, please do get in contact as this can be arranged.
