The mill originates from the 17th century and is still working on special occasions. It houses an Art Gallery and craft/activity days including flour milling and baking. Refreshments are served during its opening days and you can sit by the river overlooking the meadows and Bromham bridge.
There is an old spring situated underneath Bromham bridge beside the mill. This is located beyond the locked white gate near the entrance to the road and is inaccessible to the public but of interest while you are here.
Adjacent to the mill is a large parkland open to the public and a riverside walk. This walk leads into Bromham Park which is a popular area with the locals. Also the mill is part of the Bromham Heritage Trail which is a walk you can follow through the village.
