Reviews of Willsbridge Mill
"Great place to visit especially on nice day, sat outside with drink and cake, friendly staff as always. Noticed improvements in pond area, well done, looking good, I managed to raise a bit of money to help fund this. Great place for walking dogs, they can have a paddle in the stream close by."
"The valley/nature reserve and mill are hidden gems with lovely woodland walks that’s adjacent to a Siston Brook, river and an oasis for wildlife. There are two ponds one new the other repaired thats home to frogs, dragonflies, damselflies, pond-skaters, water-boatmen, newts etc. Many birds can be seen and heard including kingfishers, woodpeckers, jays, buzzards, dippers, robins, wrens etc. I’ve been fortunate to see bats but as yet not seen the resident badgers, foxes and otters. I love the seasonal flowers especially the snowdrops, bluebells and crocuses, it’s a photographers dream to visit here. There are lots of activities for families including forest school for children.There's a good café where the coffee and cakes awesome. The Artwork includes several amazing mosaics, the latest is a large newt, animal wood carvings and signage. Love Willsbridge its definitely worth a visit."
"I like this spot for a nice little walk. Not very big, but big enough for a walk & bit of exercise! Close to longwell - perfect for regaining a bit of sanity if you have the misfortune of having to go to the shops at the weekend!! (Aka, me today)!. Nice looking cafe, always people there & cute wildlife garden"
