Medieval water mill set deep in a wooded valley. There is a small mill museum, craft shop and very popular cafe famed for its light lunches and delicious home-made pastries and cakes. The water wheel (cast by Harris & Polmear of the City Foundry, Truro in 1882) is working and you can sit and watch the ducks and other wildlife around the picnic tables under the trees.
