What a beautiful place The and River with clean clear water . We saw fish jumping and Swans 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. Interesting historic cornhill. Excellent guided tour. Parking available. Beautiful place wonderful place for a walk Fascinating personal 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. Such a beautiful, idyllic spot for a restful afternoon picnic after a hike. Beautiful setting. The guide was very engaging and personable. If you love history, you'll love this place. The appeared to be closed for the winter, but there is a car park and open public toilets next door. There is a nice walk along the river, too. An enjoyable outing with a picnic spot and plenty opportunity for walking. Take a stroll across the fields toward the bridge for beautiful views of the over the river Stour. It was good to hear the 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. Enjoyed the best of times here at the mill. We had a of all the machinery, it was so well explained, even though they were not milling flour today, so we could take the dogs around too. This place is so ancient and historic, almost untouched by time, but still accommodating early 20th C additions when it was used as a feed mill. Our guide was so knowledgable and hands on with repairs that he explained would be made in the winter months. Such a fascinating place. It’s authentic and un-disneyfied, you could almost imagine the millers working here last week. And amazed at the ingenuity of our forebears who created lantern ‘glass’ from cow horns and ‘swan skin’ from sheeps wool. A must to visit if you love history! My partner had a guided with a group of about 6 people. The 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 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. My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the mill. The was very interesting and personal. Well worth the visit, but be aware the car park is very small Website change monitoring Monitor any webpage for changes – get instant email alerts when prices drop, new jobs are posted, products come back in stock, or competitors update their sites.
