Mill Green Museum & Working Mill is an 18th century restored watermill in Hertfordshire, still powered by the river Lea as part of a 1,000 year milling history on the site. You can watch the mill in action while the Miller explains how the wheels, cogs and stones work together to turn grain into flour. Alongside the mill, the museum holds a wide-ranging collection covering local archaeology, industry and social history, plus an art collection featuring local artists. There's a tea room, shop, and gardens or the Pumphouse available for hire. Hatfield station is 0.7 miles away, and if you're staying nearby, there are 10 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays.
