Dunster Working Watermill, Grade II listed watermill in Dunster, United Kingdom
The watermill contains three floors of operational machinery, powered by two overshot wheels driven by water from the River Avill.
Built in 1782, the structure replaced previous medieval mills mentioned in the Domesday Book and served the local community until 1962.
The mill demonstrates traditional grain processing methods through regular flour grinding demonstrations, maintaining Somerset's agricultural heritage.
The National Trust operates the mill daily from 10 AM to 4 PM, offering guided tours and selling freshly ground organic flour to visitors.
The mill maintains three sets of grinding stones and produces over 18 tonnes of wholemeal flour annually from organic grains.
