Owned, operated and maintained by Crabble Corn Mill Trust, the mill was rescued from demolition and opened to the public in 1990. It can now boast to be one of the most complete and working examples of a Georgian watermill in Europe.

 

 

 

The current structure was built in 1812 alongside an existing mill which was later demolished to allow for additional storage space - what is now the exhibition area on the ground floor and the tea rooms. However, records show that there has been a mill on this site since at least 1227 when Henry III granted a Charter of Confirmation to St, Radigund's Abbey, the ruins of which can still be seen today on the hill above the village.

 

 

The Mill is a working museum and as such shows Georgian and Victorian engineering excellence at work using one of natures most powerful forces - water. In 1999 the Mill won the prestigious Presidents Award from the Association for Industrial Archaeology. Six floors of exhibits and milling machinery describe the process of turning wheat into flour, and this organic wholemeal flour is available for sale in the gift shop and the Farm Shop. The tea rooms, which are also available for private functions, serve a variety of snacks and meals and has a fully licensed bar serving a variety of beers, cider, wines and spirits.

 

 

Our Farm Shop is run by volunteers that will give you a warm and friendly welcome. We aim to provide a selection of quality farm foods locally produced including eggs and meat. We also stock other locally sourced products such as plants, logs, kindling, and wood chippings. Discounts available to Dover Loyalty Scheme card holders and Friends of Crabble Corn Mill. The shop is situated in the Miller's Cottage with easy access and parking. Open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. daily except Monday.

Our flour is milled in the traditional way using the original 19th Century machinery which has been restored to full working order here at Crabble Corn Mill. Visitors touring the Mill can see the machinery working, powered by the flow of the River Dour; a sustainable and eco-friendly energy supply.
