Calbourne Water Mill - Local Produce

About

Calbourne Water Mill is the only working Water Mill on the Isle of Wight. It grinds Isle of Wight Grain into Flour and Oats using only the power of water. This flour and oats are sold online and in the cafe. The Water Mill has been milling for over 1,000 years.

The mill itself has existed for around 1,000 years and was first mentioned in the doomsday book  A.D 1086 making it an original Isle of Wight destination. The mill is still working and has supplied flour and animal feeds to the people of the Isle of Wight over many years. Flour, muesli, and oats are still produced and you can purchase these at the mill alongside jams and chutneys made at the mill.

Driven solely by the water wheel the stone mill (the oldest part of the mill) produces flour using grit stones and burr stones. The mill produces up to 60 tons of flour and oats each year. You can see a milling demonstration most days (except Saturdays) during the season to show you how it is done.
