A Truly Incredible Experience... You can't get much 'greener' than this mill and its flour production. The chap in the mill, Michael, told us all about the long history of the mill and was very knowledgeable on how the whole mill functioned ... How they managed to build such a finely tuned piece of machinery all those hundreds of years ago, without precision tools, was simply amazing. We saw the wheels and cogs turning, making you realise how dangerous it must have been in the days before 'Health & Safety' !! The lady in the mill , Chrissie, was friendly and chatty. It was a wonderful experience, and would highly recommend a visit.

Certainly A MUST SEE attraction when in Dorset. We loved visiting. (Family/ with teens) The working mill is super interesting and the flour is fab too. Run by dedicated and passionate volunteers. Free but we'd encourage a good donation. Anazing piece of history and local heritage. Fabulous, all the little shops, brewery and galleries. Lovely! Highly recommended. Would definitely come again.

Great to see a working water mill! The mill itself is a historical gem, had a great tour from Mike and a lovely chat with Janet in the shop. There are lots of other arts & crafts, dining and cultural things to do too so well worth a visit!

Great place to visit in Lyme Regis. The mill was interesting and the small shop had a good variation of baking related products. The staff were very friendly and passionate about their craft. The Brewery next door is worth a visit as well as the artisan shops near by.

Fascinating place to visit and find out about the history of milling in Lyme Regis. The volunteer guides were very knowledgeable and excellent.
