Gants Mill

Gants Mill stands along the River Brue with its original machinery, grindstones, conveyors, and grain bins dating from 1888 still in functional condition.

The current structure, completed in 1810, incorporates elements from an 18th-century building and stands on a site where milling activities began around 1290.

The Weston family maintained ownership of the mill for four centuries, with extensive documentation preserved in the Somerset Record Office for research purposes.

The mill generates up to 12 kilowatts of electricity through a modern crossflow turbine system installed in 2003, demonstrating sustainable energy production.

The surrounding water garden displays seasonal collections of iris, roses, delphiniums, day lilies, clematis, and dahlias throughout different times of the year.
