What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors consistently praise Town Mill as a charming and educational destination, highlighting the knowledgeable volunteers and the unique experience of seeing a working mill. The free entry and opportunity to purchase fresh flour are significant draws, though the 'no dogs allowed' policy is a noted restriction.
"Such a lovely place!! We pop by every time we are in Lyme. This year, we had extended family with us. While we were busy nosing around, Steve offered a tour and the kids loved it! Totally hands on, super educational. No queues, free entry, fresh flour to purchase, love folks running the place, I hope this charming place remains open for the younger generations to enjoy."

"Lovely old working mill. Really good access to see the workings of the mill and the friendly volunteers give an informative insight into the old days and ways of producing flour. Well worth a visit. Note: No dogs allowed as it produces flour and has to adhere to the rules and regulations regarding food production."

"The mill was open when we popped into Lyme Regis! I enjoyed looking around and the chap was very knowledgeable. Free to visit but I bought a bag of flour as a thank you. Great to know I'll be baking with no added items!"
