What's on

Our waterwheel is one of the few still working in Britain. It produces flour from which we make our bread. Try baking some bread or see flour being ground on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Activities

We’re geocaching. Borrow a GPS device from the shop to find our caches, picnic in the meadow or climb up to the stone floor to see the mill mechanism and have a turn, so to speak, milling grain at the hand quern.
