This corn mill languishes on the River Stour and makes for a lovely stop if you're on a walk in the area. Managed by the National Trust, this particular mill was built in the late 1700s, but a mill has stood on the site since the time of the Domesday Book.

The elm and applewood machinery is still in place, although not in working order, and you can take a guided tour. The mill and its grounds form part of the Kingston Lacy estate, also under the care of the National Trust.
