Thorney Mill, otherwise known as Thorney Silent Mill, occupies a particularly pretty point on the River Parrett. No longer in use, it’s a watermill that once ground corn, built in 1823. Why the ‘Silent’? It has wooden cogs which would’ve been far quieter than had they been made out of metal.

The mill lies just off the River Parrett Trail and next to a footbridge which gives the best view of it.
