Hiking
The weir on the river Tyne was used to control the water levels and maintain a good supply of water to the mill. It's a lovely place to stop on a walk with a convenient bench to sit and watch the river from.

Outside the mill on the river, keep your eyes peeled for herons, kingfishers and otters. You can walk down the river to the doocot (Scottish for dovecot). Find out more at nts.org.uk/visit/places/preston-mill
