Bridgewater is an attractive village with a distinctly English ambience (particularly in spring and autumn) which is famous for its exceptionally beautiful  and still working water wheel, built in 1859.  The town has a number of interesting and historic buildings including the Millers Cottage (1860), the Bridgewater Mill (1860), the Bridgewater Inn, the General Store (1877) and the Old Police Station.  This charming Adelaide Hills village is located only 21 km south-east of Adelaide via the Princes Highway and South Eastern Freeway, a beautiful place to stop and spend the day with the family on your way through to Adelaide.
