Reviews
I used to pass this Mill every week day when I was a HGV driver, as I delivered in the area. Never had chance to photograph it so went here with my camera. Really enjoyed it and grabbed some great shots of the mill, weir and the foot bridges and the road bridge. I did not go into the mill but met a lovely lady who posed for me beside the weir
Fascinating personal tour by the current Miller. Very knowledgeable and interesting areas pointed out. Saw markings left to ward off witches and evil spirits, beams from the 1400's and the miller's workshop with all the tools etc left by previous millers over the centuries, including an horseshoe dated to the 1300's.
It was good to hear the mill going round Made for an oldie world atmosphere. A very informative and cheerful person was there to answer questions. Lots of places to sit and watch the water go by and listen to the sounds There is a public toilet there.
It was a little muddy when we were there so we didn't do too much exploring. The river looks spectacular coming over the weir, especially if you go out on one of the bridges.
My partner had a guided tour with a group of about 6 people. The tour cost £5 each and lasted about an hour and a half. He said it didn't seem that long, as was very interesting. Unfortunately I couldn't join the tour, as I had my Assistance Dog with me and there are steep stairs to navigate. But the lady was very kind and showed me an interactive tour on a tablet and talked to me about the mill. Was surprised to find a small gift shop online, too. Cost £5 each to go in - great value! Great place for photo opportunities. Check days/times of opening.
