Nant Mill Visitor Centre

About

Whether you want to discover local wildlife and history of the Clywedog Valley or take a stimulating walk through splendid woods and countryside, this former corn mill is a great location for walkers or a family visit.

The Visitor Centre nestles in beautiful ancient woodland alongside the enchanting River Clywedog. Nant Mill is located on the Clywedog Valley Trail, which winds for 6.5 miles through glorious countryside from Minera Lead Mines, through Nant Wood and Plas Power Wood, where Offa's Dyke can be seen, passed the Bersham Iron Works and Heritage Centre, the impressive Erddig Estate and on to King's Mill in Wrexham.

For those who don't wish to venture too far, there are shorter walks starting from the Visitor Centre and lots of activities to keep youngsters entertained inside. See the beautiful etched glass window, the giant wooden pigs in the old pigsty and the 'Glimpse Gates' inspired by the industrial past of the valley. The Bird Thrones on the picnic area provide a perfect place for storytelling and there is also a small children's playground and wild garden.

If you like to watch wildlife, spend some time in the bird hide.  It’s not just birds who like to entertain the visitors, but the squirrels and bank voles, too!

It is an ideal location for rubber duck races that are easy to run and a great way to raise funds for your charity, school or football club. Ducks can be hired, by prior arrangement, from the Visitor Centre and you can spend an afternoon having fun in the river and fundraising at the same time!
