What a calm and mellow place. We had a good chat with one of the volunteers about the making of the millstones. It was a shame that there were no children playing in the wooded area. Perhaps it's a bit expensive for families? The cafe was pleasant. The usual drinks and nice cakes.

Historic and fascinating working water mill. INational Trust and part of the Dunster Castle It is easy to see how it all works, and you can buy various flours that are milled there in there shop.

Delightful mill still producing flour daily. You can enjoy a cake made from the spelt flour in the tearoom next door. There are regular tours but I found it more interesting chatting to the millers who were happy to share their knowledge. If you're going to the castle anyway this is well worth the walk down the hill.

Really fascinating working water mill. It is National Trust and part of the Dunster Castle ticket but we just visited the mill. It is easy to see how it all works and you can buy various flours that are milled there in the adjacent shop. It feels much more like a real mill than a museum.
