Welcome to Rolls Mill

Rolls Mill is a small village located in the county of Dorset, England. The village is situated on the River Stour, which flows through the heart of the village. The village is known for its picturesque countryside, which is dotted with rolling hills, lush green fields, and quaint cottages. The village is also home to a number of historic buildings, including the Rolls Mill House, which dates back to the 17th century.

The village of Rolls Mill is a popular destination for tourists who are looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. The village offers a range of outdoor activities, including hiking, cycling, and fishing. The River Stour is a popular spot for fishing, and visitors can often be seen casting their lines into the water in search of trout and salmon. The village is also home to a number of quaint pubs and restaurants, where visitors can enjoy a traditional English meal or a pint of local ale.

Despite its small size, Rolls Mill has a rich history that dates back centuries. The village was once a thriving center of industry, with a number of mills and factories operating in the area. Today, many of these buildings have been converted into homes and businesses, but the village still retains its historic charm.

Fonthill Lakeside Walk
There Is A Great Network Of Public Footpaths And Bridleways In The Vicinity Of Fonthill Gifford And Fonthill Bishop (See Map Image). Although Entry To The Water Is Actively Discouraged If You Walk To The Dam At The Southern End Of The Lake, Just Beyond It Is A Fabulous Shallow Chalk Stream For Splashing Around In. I Suggest Parking Where The Finger Is Pointing On My Posted Map. Fonthill Is Famous For Its Huge 18Thc Country House, Long Since Demolished After It Part Collapsed! See Link To Find Out More About That. The Only Visible Remains Of The Abbey Are The Huge Arch And Urns At The North Entrance To The Estate, Just Off The B3089 At Fonthill Bishop.

Shearwater Lake Wiltshire
Easy To Find If You Know Warminster, It's The First Time We've Been And My Husband, Myself And Two Dogs Really Enjoyed Ourselves. Took A While To Figure Out Where The Dogs To Be Let Of There Leads As They Aren't Allowed Around The Main Lake Because Of People Fishing, However There Are Other Areas In Which The Dogs Can Have A Good Splash About. Lovely Scenery Of The Main Lake And Surrounding Forest. You Can Hire Boats And Take On The Lake, Have A Nice Bike Ride Around (Which We Are Planning) Or Just Enjoy The Walk. Would Recommend For Any Age. Lovely Afternoon Out.

Vallis Vale Walk
A Beautiful Walk Through Woodland Next To The Mells River. The Area Is Steeped In Industrial History And A Site Of Special Scientific Interest. Popular For Dogs In Summer As The River Is Accessible And It Is Flat And The Path Is Gravel But Can Get Muddy And Slippery In Wet Conditions. There Are Several Paths And The Main Path Goes To Mells, Or The East Mendip Way Is Accessible Going South.
