Millhouse Gill at Calf Foot Southdale and Northdale Gills combine to create Millhouse Gill as the watercourse escapes the clutches of Middleton Fell. There is a large proliferation of bracken here, making up the bulk of the local vegetation.

Mill House As the walker comes off the fell to approach Mill House, a sign will be noticed on the gate claiming no public right of way and to use your map to find another exit - this would require a detour over rough country of at least two miles. Careful study of the map shows Open Access stretches to the buildings, and thus onto the narrow lane. I chose to ignore the instructions, and recommend others do the same.
