National Trust - Packwood House
The earliest mention of Packwood dates back to 1190, when local chaplain Walter witnessed the very existence of this property. Most of the land in these parts belonged to Coventry Benedictine monks. Packwood remains until now a remarkable, mystical garden, the sacred meaning of which will awaken in the soul of everyone deeply hidden feelings.
This English garden is known for its topiary "Yew Garden" and the flower garden, with a magnificent rose garden and flower borders around the pond.

The Old Mill
The museum is located next to the water mill on the Cole River. By the way, the mill is still working, one of two working mills. It was built here in 1542, and the museum is located in a building in 1771. This mill is more than 200 years old. Here you can see the process of grinding the grain. Also, on the territory there is a bakery in which they bake bread in the oven of the 19th century.
An interesting fact that the mill served as the prototype for the Big Mill in the Hobbit story, and the miller became the prototype for Ted Sandymen, the character of The Lord of the Rings.
