Frogmore Paper Mill & Visitor Centre
The Paper Trail's Frogmore Paper Mill & Visitor Centre is located just behind Apsley's London Road shopping centre, on Fourdrinier Way, off Durrant's Hill Road.
From the South
Approaching from the South along the A4251 from Kings Langley, drive past the Apsley Mills site, over the mini-roundabout, past the retail park on your right (Sainsbury's, Homebase etc) and through the traffic lights by Dunelm Mill. Durrant's Hill Road is the second right with The Bull pub on the corner. The visitor car park (a public pay & display car park) is on your left just past the traffic light controlled bridge. The entrance to Frogmore Paper Mill is on Fourdrinier Way - which from the car park is to the right (back over the river Gade) and first left. The main reception is accessed via the courtyard on the left roughly 100 metres along Fourdrinier Way.
From the North
Approaching from the North along the A4251 from the junction with the A414, Durrant's Hill Road is the first left after The Bull pub. The visitor car park is on your left just past the traffic lights controlling the bridge crossing. The entrance to Frogmore Mill is on Fourdrinier Way which is to the right (back over the river Gade) after crossing back over Durrant's Hill Road and then first left. The main reception is accessed via the courtyard on the left roughly 100 metres along Fourdrinier way.
Please note it is resident only parking at the front of Frogmore Mill, (we do have a couple of disabled parking spaces) so visitors need to use the public car park in Durrants Hill Road.
