THE TOWN MILL
 LYME REGIS

The shop is located in the old Miller's house and its entrance is on the right hand side of the Mill courtyard. The Mill Gift Shop offers  a delightful range of small items that make ideal souvenirs of a visit to both Lyme Regis and the mill.  We have a range of small toys for children, as well as postcards and prints, English honey products, fudge, biscuits and award-winning jams. You can also purchase our award -winning history books about the mill as well as more general books about mills, milling, architecture and canals. We also have our own mill recipe book - details below.

The shop is also the main entrance to the working watermill, where you can buy tickets for the mill tour.  For details of opening times and prices,  click here.

The Milling Tour

There is always a volunteer miller on duty in the mill to explain how the watermill and the grindstones work. He can also answer any milling questions you may have. In addition, there are many display and information boards throughout the mill that explain the functions of the various floors of this working flour mill.

The tour also includes our recently installed hydro-electric system, making green electricity for the mill and the National Grid..

Stone-ground whole meal flour

The Town Mill's own freshly produced stone-ground whole meal flour is available in the shop. The organic wheat we use in the mill is grown locally in West Dorset at Tamarisk Farm.

The Town Mill Recipe Book was the first book published by the Town Mill Trust. Initially produced in 2002, it proved to be so popular that a reprint had to be ordered a year later. It was conceived by a group of mill volunteers as a means of showing the wide range of products that can be produced using the flour we make from organic wheat at the mill.

Over the last few years many of the recipes, including breads, cakes, scones and biscuits, have been demonstrated to much acclaim from lots of visitors at various Open Days at the mill.  

The Town Mill Recipe Book is produced in A5 size, softback, with a spiral binding for easy use in the kitchen. It is available from the Town Mill Gift Shop at £4.50, or by post (plus £1 p&p for UK/Europe; £1.75 p&p for Rest of World) from the address at the bottom of this page.
