As part of Heritage Open Days, Manor Mill will be open with free entry on Wednesday 11, Friday 13, and Sunday 15 September. 1-4pm. Booking is not required. Step back in time to experience the evocative atmosphere of a Victorian watermill. See the wheel rotate, the cogs turn and take in the sounds and vibrations that a miller 150 years ago would have known as part of their day at work. Try on a miller's costume, have a go at grinding with a quern and see if you can spot the rats (don't worry - they're not real!). Parking is available in Branscombe village hall, or the small National Trust car park next to the Forge. There are no facilities on site. The nearest toilets are in Branscombe village hall car park.
