The mill is situated in the beautiful Teme Valley in Worcestershire and you can find us at the foot of the world famous Shelsley Walsh hillclimb. The mill is in what used to be the farmyard and is not visible from the road. Follow the brown tourist sign for Shelsley Walsh Church.
There has been a watermill on or near this site since 1308, but the current mill shows three stages of construction spanning over 300 years. It was last used to grind animal feed around 1923.
