Parking for several cars, picnic benches a little bit shabby and decayed as of autumn 2025.

The Chalkland Way / Minster Way winds above and and to the south of this spectacular dale, affording great views of its characteristic gorse bushes. A must see and on a par with the equally spectacular Horse Dale, although not quite as deep and long.

Lovely stop by the side of the river - often swans swimming by & egrets in the trees.

Chalk streams are pristine waterways brimming with biodiversity and distinctive ecology. They flow through chalk bedrock, resulting in exceptionally clear waters and a rich array of aquatic flora and fauna. They provide habitat for a diverse range of species, including trout, grayling, and freshwater invertebrates. However, chalk streams face mounting threats from pollution, abstraction, and habitat degradation, and we need a concerted conservation effort to safeguard these invaluable natural treasures.

Nice Church in Millington, this is a nice area to observe the church as well as take a quiet pit stop in order to get some energy back. Usually a dog bowl for water with dogs but not guaranteed.
