This 19th-century mill, once a thriving flour mill, now showcases its industrial heritage with preserved machinery and interactive exhibits. Visitors can explore the mill's historic significance, learn about its role in the local community, and enjoy the surrounding gardens and tranquil atmosphere.
Hardly ever open - pity Mill pond makes a nice photo and you can walk along the stream.
Small but beautiful, picturesque and, given it's town location, surprisingly tranquil. A beautiful old mill with working water wheel nestled next to duck filled pond. You're never going to stay all day here but a lovely place for a mooch around, a picnic and a spot of duck feeding. Staff were very friendly and helpful too.
Small place and not open all the time. Car park has space for about 3 cars, so gives you a guide of how busy it usually gets! (You can however park just down the road if need to!) With all that said its a random little visit of a place situated in an area you perhaps wouldn't expect. Its actually fairly peaceful considering its location!!
Small but extremely picturesque National Trust Property. Bourne Mill is a 16th Century building, set alongside a large pond. Its grounds may not be large, but they are charming nonetheless. The outdoor sitting area provides an excellent place to stop for a cup of tea or coffee, next to the pond. The mill itself provides an excellent glimpse into the local happenings during Elizabethan times, and the working water wheel is a sight worth seeing. On a nice day, this place also provides plenty of photo opportunities.
Lovely mill, pond and stream. Not a lot of parking but you can park on the road. Free entry and for parking too. Will definitely be going back.
Small and very cute place. Recommended to take a look.
