⚙️ Stotfold Watermill Opening Day 2026 - Free Entry
Sunday 26 July 2026
Time: 12:30 - 17:00
⚙️ Free entry into Stotfold Mill. The Mill, Shop and Tea Room are open to the public only on the following dates. Flour and oats are milled on open days, water levels permitting.
🌳 THE NATURE RESERVE
The Nature Reserve is open all year round, except 9th-10th May and 10th-11th October 2026.
📖 HISTORY
Nobody is certain of the exact date, but it is likely that a watermill has stood on the site of the current Stotfold Mill beside the River Ivel for over a thousand years and it is certainly one of the oldest recorded buildings in the town. The first written evidence is the mention of four mills in Stotfold in the Domesday book of 1086. One of those four was the currently-named Stotfold Mill.
