This 18th-century water mill, now a museum, showcases traditional milling techniques and features a large wooden waterwheel, millstones, and other historic machinery.
Visited week day afternoon. Not many visitors but volunteer staff very friendly. Very good tour led by Peter who was very knowledgeable and engaging. Well worth a visit.
Lovely calm oasis good to take the little ones. Xx
Nice place with good history. Enthusiastic and knowledgeable volunteers. Look out for open days. Park in town and walk down or use supermarket not too far away. Small amount of parking in adjacent side road.
Beautifully preserved small grain watermill. Lots of original workings
The mill may only be small but it was extremely interesting and good value. The volunteers giving guided tours were excellent and were very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The mill was started to grind corn specifically for us as visitors. I recommend visiting to learn about both the mill and all of the work of James Brindley.
Arrived late in the day, but still in plenty of time for the guide to take us around on a slow tour. Very knoweleagable volunteer staff. Great place to take the children. Ours loved seeing the wheels move, the stones really grind, the hopper at work. Our youngest (10) even got weighed on the large scales, while the other 2 kept calling our Monty Python references aboutducks and witches. 3 storeys, so you get to see all of the workings and hear the complete history. No annoying gift shop but a few things available suchas postcards.
