Osmaston Saw Mill The valley of Shirley Brook was dammed to power mills, of which the most spectacular is this saw mill, powered the overshot wheel underneath the imposing gable. The mill is a rather eccentric alpine style building constructed in 1845 for the owners of Osmaston Hall in whose grounds the mill lies.

Staff were very pleasant and answered any queries we had. Pool area was lovely, the only downside was not enough beds at busy times. Food was good but it was disappointing to find they only served pepsi max or diet pepsi 'a full fat' option wouldve be nice.
