History of the SiteCalbourne Water Mill contains one of the oldest working water mills in the country, dating back to before the Domesday Book of 1086. The site has a Victorian building housing a historic Roller Plant, as well as a café housed in a 17th Century cattle barn. The Water Mill itself continues to mill around 40 tonnes of flour and roll oats for porridge and muesli, in the ‘traditional’ way on stones, unique to the mill, using the power of water from the mill streams and ponds. The property is now a successful living history tourist attraction, milling daily and receiving well over 70,000 visitors per annum (not including children under 5 or exhibitors), as well as a buoyant holiday accommodation offer.

Calbourne Water Mill Café EPC C.The Water Mill has a fully licensed café/shop selling produce milled on site. The building is a converted 17th Century cattle barn and is open plan with a counter serving approximately 100 covers. There is a separate kitchen with industrial appliances, and WC for staff. As well as being a café and shop during the day, the building is used for special functions, such as weddings.
