Cogglesford Watermill

Step back in time at Cogglesford Watermill!
Discover historic milling in action, explore scenic riverside views, and enjoy fresh stoneground flour. A perfect afternoon for all ages! Milling Days are held on the second Sunday of every month.

In a picturesque setting by the River Slea, this award winning, fully restored working watermill is thought to be the only Sheriff’s Watermill still operating in England, and millers have produced flour on this site for over a thousand years.

During 2021, North Kesteven District Council funded the restoration of the waterwheel, and now visitors can see this fantastic piece of historic machinery in action once again.

Stone ground flour produced in the mill is sold in the shop (please note, this is while stocks last) together with locally sourced produce and goods. Events are held throughout the year alongside the monthly milling days, special events and weekly wheel turning.

You can also enjoy the riverside setting with a cold drink or ice cream during the summer months, or a hot drink and a cake inside during the chilly winter!

With just a short walk between the mill and Navigation House, a combined visit gives visitors a fantastic background on the history on what was once a thriving riverside industry.

Open Friday – Sunday, 12pm – 4pm.
