    Hiking

    Preston Mill has worked since the 16th century but the present mill building dates to the 18th century. The mill continued to be used to grind oatmeal commercially until 1959. Today the water wheel still turns, and the mill is open to visitors.
    The weir on the river Tyne was used to control the water levels and maintain a good supply of water to the mill. It's a lovely place to stop on a walk with a convenient bench to sit and watch the river from.

    Preston Mill is a beautiful dutch-style mill set on the River Tyne, a popular sight from the TV series Outlander. It's open to visit for a small entrance fee, where you can see the inner mill workings in action and learn more about the millers that once worked here.

    Outside the mill on the river, keep your eyes peeled for herons, kingfishers and otters. You can walk down the river to the doocot (Scottish for dovecot). Find out more at nts.org.uk/visit/places/preston-mill
