Concept & Life at The Lower Mill Estate The aim is to achieve a perfect balance between nature & the built environment. We think they have got it just about right on this utterly unique 500 acre Nature Reserve. Lower Mill Estate boasts some of the most varied flora, fauna, and wildlife of anywhere in England – with gloriously untouched wildflower meadows, lakeland, woodland and an abundance of birdlife and animals, including deer, otters, beavers and badgers. Untouched for years and now sensitively managed by the estate, it offers one of the most unspoilt and abundant areas of wildlife, flora & fauna in the country, with two Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). There are seven lakes, three rivers (including the Thames) & hundreds of acres of meadow and woodland, criss-crossed with nature trails. Only one-third of the land will ever be developed. The rest will be left to nature. It is a truly stunning setting for you to explore by foot, bike, kayak or paddle board, all of which are available to hire from The Estate (with life jackets). The numerous walking trails are dotted with picnic spots, tranquil streams and ponds so that you can really make the most of the nature on your doorstep. For those sporting types, the outdoor tennis and MUGA court are available to hire and the children’s playground will provide hours of fun and laughter. For true relaxation, all of our properties come with full rental access to the shared spa, indoor and 2 outdoor pools, as well as the fully equipped gym. Every member of the family can make use of these pools, including children and babies. You are not required to book swimming slots and can come and go during rental hours (approx. 10:00 - 17:00). There are lots of places to eat, places to visit and things to do on and off the Estate. We will send you a comprehensive welcome PDF document with everything you need to plan your stay and begin your 'journey to arrival' as soon as your booking request has been confirmed.
