Visiting by Appointment

Our usual working sessions are on Tuesday afternoons. Individuals are welcome to come along then preferably by making prior arrangements.

Group visits require some notice and special arrangements need to be made. Please use our Contact Us menu item to send an email.

Disabled Access

Note that due to the constraints of the site and the building, access for physically disabled people is possible only to the ground floor spout room containing the gear and hurst mechanism and not to the engine and boiler room. The entrance door to the building is very narrow and this may prevent access for a wheelchair.

Parking

Parking for the public is not available at the mill. The road leading to the mill is private.

See our Location page for details on nearby parking.
