Tips

Despite being at the northeastern limit of the urban sprawl of Bournemouth, Throop feels like it resides is rural countryside. The Stour is lead down a cut, and so Throop flour mill sits on a more tranquil section of the river.

This gorgeous old mill closed in the 1970s and is a Grade II-listed building. A mill has stood on this site since the 11th century and the current building dates back to the 19th century. While you can't go inside (it's derelict), it's exceptionally lovely from the outside and easy to access via a footpath.

Throop Mill is a sizeable building and four storeys high. It is a traditional water mill being fed by a mill stream tapped off the main River Stour. There is a single chamber through which the water flowed. The original turbine is now sat rusting away in the middle of the lawn immediately in front of the mill.
