Our last waterwheel turning of the year is on Bank Holiday Monday – 25th August at 11am.
You’re welcome to see the wheel turn, come into the watermill to see the workings inside (subject to your own risk), chat about the history here and wander round the riverside garden.
There is no charge. Children are welcome but should be supervised and dogs must be kept on a lead.
Watermill House, Mill Lane, Hellingly. BN27 4EY.
Please note parking here isn’t great so you might want to park at the Old Station Car Park and walk up the Cuckoo Trail.
