Bishops Lydeard mill

Bishops Lydeard Mill, located in the picturesque village of Bishops Lydeard near Taunton, is a well-preserved example of an overshot waterwheel and serves as a working mill and rural life museum. With a focus on traditional trades and crafts, the site features a wheelwright's shop, a blacksmith's workshop, and a collection of models and carriages that showcase the rich history of milling and rural life in the area.

Since its opening in May 2003, Bishops Lydeard Mill has been committed to charitable efforts, contributing over £180,000 to various organizations. Visitors can enjoy homemade treats at the Dusty Miller's tea room while exploring local attractions like the West Somerset Railway and the Quantock Brewery.
