URCHINS Bears is in The Old Mill which is sited just behind the bridge at the beginning of the harbour on a confluence of the Valency and Jordan rivers.

There is limited street parking available directly outside of the Old Mill, however to take advantage of a more leisurely visit to our beautiful harbour it is suggested that the main car park just 100 metres away is used.

On foot from the main car park, turning left at the exit, towards the harbour, the walk will take you past a number of interesting gift shops the local bakery and restaurants to the main road bridge. Carry on over on the left side of the bridge and around the corner passing ‘The Otherworld’ the mystical shop nestled just below the water wheel at the front of the Old Mill. The Old Mill is directly ahead and the main entrance into the building is on the centre left of the large courtyard at the rear of the building. The bears are all there just through the doors waiting to meet you.
