Otterton Mill has been working since Norman times. Milling declined in the mid 1900s but the mill was restored in 1977. Today you can visit the mill and see the workings. They mill flour here a couple of times a month. There is a also a cafe and shop open daily.

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 replaced by the power of the natural elements through a watercourse - natural or artificial - in order to grind grain into corn or press oil from fruit, for example.

There are essentially two different ways of driving watermills:
* Either the flowing water simply hits the blades of the water wheel from below to set it in motion; or
* the water is guided above the wheel - usually through a so-called "mill channel" - and falls onto the blades; this type of construction is more efficient due to natural gravity.
