Spontaneous day out turned great 6.yo daughter had lots of fun, made her own flour and dressed up as a miller. Was amazing to see the milling process in action and she got to get involved. All the staff were lovely, will definitely go back next year when open

Very interesting place. It is open most Sundays (from end of March to Sept in 2025) from 12.30pm to 5pm with the mill actually running and milling flour up to about 3 times during the afternoon. They had just finished the demonstration when we arrived. The volunteers are really lovely and very knowledgeable. There is a small cafe serving tea, coffee and cakes, and soup and bread rolls for lunch. The shop sells their own stone-ground flour amongst other things. Highly recommend.

Really great place to visit. Fully staffed by volunteers who are helpful and knowledgeable. We spent over 2 hours there, including a short nature walk. Cafe was reasonably priced and very clean. Would definitely recommend a visit.

May 25 Steam County Fair - lots of smaller stalls around main theme of steam traction engines, selling crafts, tools, artisan food, sweets etc. Several fairground rides, motorcycle stunt displays, sheepdog trials show herding geese, and Hawker Hurricane fly over, and other displays. Food and drink not cheap, but not as expensive as some similar events. Only worry was lots of small steam traction engines running, not fenced off, with children passing very close to front chimney stacks - very hot - one misplaced hand.....

It was such a beautiful, calm walk. I really enjoyed that dogs must be on leads – it made me feel safer with my dog around. The scenery was simply delightful, and I’ll definitely be returning with my new pup to explore the smells and sights.

The mill is a great and really interesting place to visit. There are knowledgeable volunteers that really bring it to life and loved seeing how the milling process worked. Delicious cakes in the tea room. The nature reserve is beautiful too.

While it's only open occasionally (Sunday afternoon when we went), I found it a fascinating place. It's free to enter and see the workings of the mill. It was restored after a fire in the 1990s. The all volunteer workforce are knowledgeable and very friendly. It would be a great place to take kids, to see how things work, as you can see it all here.

Visited for the Working Steam Weekend and Agricultural Show on Sunday 8th October and what a fantastic day it was. The weather was superb very warm for the time of the year. There was plenty to see and do with stalls selling coffee, beer and food as well as local art and craft and various other stalls, there was even a sheep shearing demonstration. Was great to see so many vintage steam engines in action and operating all kinds of machinery. the ploughing demonstration was very interesting to watch. The mill was open and working which gave a great insight to how these mills worked back in the day.
