Impressive working 18th-century watermill and campsite
From parking and facilities to walking routes and tasty treats, here is all the information you need to get the best out of your visit. Our new mill tours are now running on Wednesdays and at weekends, you will need to pre-book your tour in advance.
Follow this amazing survival story of a mill that was almost demolished, then saved by the local villagers and restored to working order to carry on the tradition of milling on this site for over 1,000 years.
Set in an idyllic village location on an island on the Great Ouse River, Houghton Mill has inspired artists and photographers for generations. Come and experience the sound and atmosphere of a traditional working mill, have a go at making flour or lose yourself in the tranquillity of the riverside setting and stay a while at our campsite.
