This 18th-century water mill, nestled in the picturesque Northumberland countryside, features a stunning mixture of industrial heritage and natural beauty. The mill's stone-built exterior, with its steeply pitched roof and rustic charm, blends seamlessly into the surrounding landscape. A babbling brook, which once powered the mill's machinery, flows gently alongside the building, creating a soothing atmosphere. The mill's interior, now converted into a museum and art gallery, showcases a fascinating collection of industrial artifacts, artwork, and exhibits that tell the story of the mill's history and the local community. Visitors can explore the mill's various levels, including the original grinding floor, and enjoy the scenic views of the surrounding countryside from its upper floors.
First time visit for me at the tea room and loved it!! What a Beautiful Setting and a perfect day to sit outside in beautiful surroundings.... And so reasonable priced..
Fantastic little hidden gem! Cafe ladies were so friendly and the food was amazing! My little one loved doing the bug hunt and watching the pond skaters, we will certainly be back!
The mill is free to enter , a work in progress, and well worth a visit. They have a great little cafe and, of course, the water wheel. I was there to meet with fellow brick collectors and thoroughly enjoyed the day
Place run by volunteers, very welcoming. Lots of work to do if you fancy old machinery. Beautiful paths around the water mill, back gardens and around the small lakes and rivers. Very well looked after and lovely gardens. Coffee and cakes available.
We were on one of our weekly walks and past the mill on the way, it was not open but we got talking to several volunteers, and they invited us for a cup of tea. One of the guides gave us the history of the mill and how it was refurbished over the years. very interesting and well worth a visit. Highly recommended.
We had a fantastic time, little one loved running round all the diffrent things which you follow the numbers trail, very interesting and great little snugs to sit down and relax in, you can take your time with a no rush attitude. Plenty to do and see, would recommend.
