National Mills Day

Every year The Bridge Mill opens its doors to the public on the Sunday of National Mills Weekend.

National Mills Weekend is the second weekend in May, organised by SPAB (Wind and Watermill Section)

In 2011 the Bridge Mill will be open on Sunday 15th May as part of National Mills Weekend. In addition to the regular mill tours, lunches and plant sale, visitors will be able to make and bake their own bread rolls in a mobile log-fired bread oven.

 HOW TO FIND THE BRIDGE MILL

The Bridge Mill is in Bridgerule, Devon, a small village on the River Tamar between Holsworthy and Bude. The post code is EX22 7EL.

From Holsworthy take the road to Bude (A 3072).  You will pass Rydon Park, then the Golf Club on the left. After the golf club there are a couple of bends in the road before you reach a left turn signed to Bridgerule. Turn left here and drive for three miles. As you enter the village of Bridgerule, you will pass the church on your right. Drive down the hill (take care as the road is very narrow). The mill is on the right at the bottom of the hill opposite “Short and Abbott” agricultural engineers.

From Bude Take the A3072 to Holsworthy. Turn right at Red Post (B3254) Take the second left turn to Bridgerule village. Drive past The Bridge Inn, over the river bridge then immediately left by the chapel. The Bridge Mill is the second property on your left.
