The stone platform with an old millstone at its centre, is displayed in a small commemorative garden. The Millstone probably came from Y Felin, one of the last working water powered in Wales.
The Mill Pond/Duck Pond is located in the heart of the Village with two names, St Dogmaels or Llandudoch, Pembrokeshire, South Wales.

"Y Felin Water Mill is one of only two working mills in Wales. The mill has been completely renovated with its original machinery intact. Y Felin dates back to the twelfth century and is thought to have been built by St Dogmaels Abbey. A guided tour of the mill will reveal how their wonderful selection of flour is made, including Welsh organic wholemeal, seed and herb, and garlic and chive. The delightful tea room offers a mouth-watering selection of fresh home-made produce, including scones, cakes, bread and light lunches." - See more at: (visit link)
