The Mill is surrounded by fords that are quite deep at times. There are footways and steps around the water that need a bit of love - i.e. they're falling apart. A few of the roads around here are gravelly. A word of caution: The nearby Redbourn Road (A5183) is a nightmare for speeding cars and trucks so approach the mill from Beesonend Lane.

Roman Theatre at Verulamium

The Roman town of Verulamium once occupied the site of the modern-day Verulamium Park to the west of St Albans. One of its most impressive buildings would have been its 2,000-seater theatre, the remains of which can still be seen today. The theatre is open to the public, though there's a small entrance fee.
