Merry Christmas from everyone at Sarehole Mill.

We are open this weekend (Saturday 27th & Sunday 28th December).

We recommend a refreshing walk through the Shire Country Park along the river Cole with a stop in at Sarehole Mill to learn about J.R.R. Tolkien's childhood haunt, spot the herons on our tranquil mill pond and see the water wheel turn in this fascinating 18th century water mill.
The perfect opportunity to walk off a bit of the Christmas celebrations.

Book your tickets here or drop in between 11am and 3.30pm.

Open Friday - Sunday, 11am – 4pm.
