The Town Mill

This ancient watermill, set in the artisan quarter of Lyme Regis, was rescued from dereliction by local volunteers, through a ten-year restoration project. Today, the unique and intriguing story of The Town Mill is recounted by our volunteer millers, who mill stoneground wholemeal flour, and keep this special place open for everyone to enjoy. Nestling around a cobbled courtyard, restored mill buildings house a working flour watermill and shop, as well as an art galley, restaurant, silversmith, seamstress, pottery, seaweed art, design agency, pilates studio and a micro-brewery. You can view The Mill and waterwheel daily, free of charge and self-guided. As a charity we welcome donations to help keep the Mill open for visitors to enjoy! Our delicious wheat, rye and spelt flour is also available to purchase from our shop. Opening of the mill is reliant on our volunteer availability so please do check our opening times on the website.
