Burnham Overy Lower Watermill was originally built around 1790.The building was gutted by fire in 1959, so the roof and much of the interior date to 1960. What remained of the mill machinery, with the exception of the waterwheel, was removed in 1989. Owned since 1939 by the National Trust, the buildings have now been converted to residential use.

Hiking

The mill has been holiday accommodation since 1926. It was built in 1827 and enjoyed just shy of 100 years as a working mill. The National Trust wished to restore it to a working mill in the 1970s but their planning application was rejected.

Road cycling

If heading west, it's at the foot of a fast drop-down taking you into two right-angled corners, first a left then a right. Now a National Trust holiday let.
