Acorn Bank Watermill

Heritage Open Day: Come and see the 19th Century mill in action and learn about the progress made in restoring the second waterwheel to working condition and the architecture of the various phases of the mill complex. Come down and see the 19th Century Watermill in action, milling the special Blacksmith Black Wheat variety, bred and grown in England, and sample the delicious goodies we can make with it. You can also buy both the Blacksmith, and our normal wholemeal English wheat flour at the mill.

You can also learn from the millers all about the progress in our project to restore the second waterwheel, and to bring it back to life after a lapse of nearly 100 years

Have a go at making flour with a hand quern, the way our ancestors did, or show your artistic talents on our Art Table
