Lovely place to visit. Very clean and very well presented. £5 to look round mill which is interesting, but dogs not allowed in that area. Light gauge railway station is just over the bridge. A few shops at the mill, we particularly liked the jewellery shop. Good parking
Beautifully preserved and renovated Corn Mill that brings to life a bygone age. Set in a rolling countryside next to a river where it draws its power from via the huge water wheel. Free parking, extremely good value entrance fee, cafe , other attractions inc light railway. Toilets and a lovely little gift shop. However the star attraction was the mill. A fantastic working Mill with friendly staff and a very informative miller/tour guide who set the mill in motion and kept us beguiled with stories and facts. Lots to see, child friendly and one of the finest examples still going of such a iconic piece of Victorian Engineering and architecture, Great history as been a mill on this site since the 13th century. Please visit and help support the upkeep of this wonderful place for future generations.
ONE TIP - Ring before going as the website was out of date with times and dates open, so we had a wasted visit first time.
We had a great time in the mill. Thought we spend a short time there waiting for the train at the neighbouring light railway but ended up spending over 1 hour with the children enjoying the expansions by the miller and getting engaged in operating the mill and seeing how it all works.
Nice shop where you can buy flour made in the mill.
Really interesting history, enjoy the train to Etal and back. Lovely cafe and gift shop
A must visit! Inexpensive, friendly staff and really interesting too. The miller on hand was great giving lots of information and it was great to see the mill working. There was a little trail for the young children too to spot the mice (not real ones!!) A must visit if you're in the area!
Great find whilst touring around on our bicycles with our little dog.
Beautiful old building restored to a high standard.
The cafe turn out some amazing food and very reasonably priced.
Well spaced tables and two floors available allows for social distancing.
Luckily they are dog friendly too!
Lovely place, just wish we'd had more time. Definitely plan a whole day to walk between the villages and look at everything.
Very informative and a rare experience to see a working mill. It was great to chat to the Miller who works on site and the kids got to turn the waterwheel on and help send a sack up through the trapdoor. Dough-making is available at certain times too and the mill products are available to buy in the gift shop. The tea rooms had a good variety of food available at reasonable prices.
A short walk up the hill from here is Flodden field, and/or you can go over the bridge and catch the steam train up the river to Etal Castle. It would be easy to make this a packed day out.
Great place to visit
We had a lovely cream tea in the cafe after a look around the mill and shop I purchased some flour and have made some lovely bread with it very friendly staff it's well worth the visit
Very interesting exhibition well kept and run. Enjoyed learning about how the mill works in a friendly informative way.
