This gorgeous mill sits on a site dating back to at least 1086, when the Domesday Book was written. Sitting on the River Eye, just before it flows into Bourton-on-the-Water, the mill itself has its history in the 14 century.

Like the village it lies in, Lower Slaughter, the mill is absolutely stunning and is now home to a museum. You'll also find a shop and lovely riverside cafe here.
