Come and see the beautifully restored 17th century watermill at Hestercombe up and running and powering a wide range of exquisitely restored, historic machinery ranging from an apple scratter, to an oat crusher, a chaff cutter, winnower and saw bench. Meet the jolly miller as he grinds corn into flour and re-live times gone past in this unique building transformed from a tumble down wreck through a ‘grand designs’ style rescue project in just one year. (A short film playing in the mill charts the progress.)
Whether you are old or young, this fully operating spectacle will be captivating!
Garden admission fee applies. Mill Demonstration FREE.

If you're planning to visit between Monday 9th September and Friday 13th September, please be aware that there is a diversion in place to get to the main entrance. This is due to Wessex Water works taking place and closing the road along Pitchers Hill in Cheddon Fitzpaine. To see where the road closure is and the diversion, please click here. Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.
