Otterton Mill, Historic mill building in Otterton, England
Otterton Mill is a working mill building with two operational water wheels constructed by Bodley Brothers, each capable of turning millstones for flour production. The site also contains a bakery that uses the freshly ground flour produced on-site.
The Domesday Book of 1086 records three mills at this location, which later came under the ownership of Mont St Michel monks as their primary English holding. The site maintained its importance as a production center through the following centuries.
The mill today hosts art galleries and craft workshops where local artisans display their work alongside traditional milling operations. This blend of historical production and contemporary creativity shapes how visitors experience the space.
Visitors can purchase freshly ground wholemeal flour and watch the milling process in action. It is worth allowing time to explore both the production areas and the bakery and galleries on site.
A bridge built in 1840 spans the River Otter and was constructed upon medieval foundations dating back to the original crossing point. This structure connects the site's development through different periods.
