Using the power of moving water to drive a mill wheel is an ancient invention of the human spirit of discovery, the origins of which can be traced back to times long past. Thanks to such a construction, human or animal muscle power could be easily replaced by the power of the natural elements through a watercourse - natural or artificially created - in order to grind grain into corn or press oil from fruit, for example.
There are essentially two different ways of driving watermills:

Hiking
A restored 18th-century watermill built on the site of a mill mentioned in the Domesday Survey of 1086. The mill is set in peaceful surroundings alongside the River Avill and at the entrance to the Dunster Castle River gardens. The watermill is fully operational. You can often see original milling here and even buy the flour produced.

Hiking
Coming from the direction of the tea room, you either turn around here or pay the entrance fee for the mill, the gardens and the castle. Currently that's 16 pounds per person. We actually just wanted to see the gardens, but there is only one type of ticket.
But it was definitely worth it, we spent a very long time here and can recommend it.
