Children & Adults Safety
​
There are many opportunities for play and adventure at King's Mill. Our aim is for children to have a truly enriching experience of space and freedom. But there are contingent risks to be aware of. We have firepits, there is a shallow stream bounding the land, there are horses, sheep and cows in the adjoining fields there are tractors and machinery around. We are also in the process of renovating some outbuildings and continue with the restoration of the Mill. These risks are small and should be self-evident - but if you are not clear, please ask! King's Mill accepts no responsibility for injury incurred on site. Parents are responsible for the supervision of their children on site at all times.

The Woodland and Fort
​
Our Ancient woodland is protected and the Iron Age Fort is a scheduled monument. There is strictly no camping on the Iron Age fort and strictly no metal detecting anywhere at King's Mill. If you wish to explore the woodland and fort you do so at your own risk. The woodland walk is through the protected ancient woodland. Some areas are out of bounds especially the mill and leat . Many things can cause injury. Branches fall, people can trip, ankles can be twisted and people fall off rope swings. On top of that woodland plants and mushrooms that should not be touched or eaten can make you very ill. Don't let this dampen your sense of adventure but by booking we accept no liability or responsibility for any injury or accident while in the woodland or while staying at King's Mill Camping. Access to the woodland is strictly by prior agreement only. No entry to the woodland between 9.30 PM to 9.30 AM.
