Gunton Park Sawmill is a historic working sawmill in Alby with Thwaite, North Norfolk, where you can see a wooden-framed saw, a circular saw from Holmes of Norwich, and a small corn mill once used to grind flour for the estate. The site has been restored after falling into disrepair, with a new thatched roof and repaired millrace, and now also houses a growing wood-trades museum. It suits those interested in rural industrial heritage and milling history, with entry on scheduled open days through 2026 or by arranged group visit. Gunton station is 2.2 miles away, and if you're staying nearby, there are 112 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays.
