Showing 5 reviews Rating:4 I visited this place yesterday as a spontaneous trip by myself. Rob was very friendly at the main entrance. They run Tolkien tours on a Sunday morning but I joined the Mill tour at 13:30. Ash was very informative and I found it interesting to see the mill in action and to hear about how hard the conditions were for the ‘run of the mill’ people that worked there.

It was small but a beautiful place, absolutely loved to learn a little more about the thoughts and inspirations behind LOTR.

Our initial research into the museum and the mill set us up to expect a nice tour of the mill, an intimate look into the years that Tolkien spent at the mill, and the pizza at the café.

We were pleasantly surprised to see that the Sarehole Mill offered guided tours, and decided to sign-up for it. Our guide, Ash, who was not only great at presenting the information but also very funny, explained the history of the mill, as well as how all of the components worked together, and helped us imagined how it may have looked and felt like when it was in use.

Highly recommended to anyone looking for a bit of an escape from the mundane city ( in the city) for a bite to eat and to relax. They also have a selection of soft drinks available, not licence for alcohol though. The mill its self is a wonderful charming place.

Thanks for submitting your review!Sophie
It is a random but beautiful haven in the centre of roundabouts and busy roads that takes you away from all of that and places you back in time.
The cafe does not provide the best selection of food (just crisps and muffins really) but good to have a cup of tea before setting off on the tour.
There is also a beautiful walk along the stream if you cross over the road from the museum which is peaceful and scenic. It is muddy at this time of year so wellies are advisable.
Would recommend a trip here on a sunny day 🙂

The first two items (the mill and the Tolkien trivia) were an amazing experience! We definitely recommend this tour to anybody who wants to visit a good old run down watermill simply to see the works, or if you’re a Tolkien nerd as well!
Our tour guide was Ash, and he was marvellous! The tour lasted about an hour, during which he took us through the floors of the mill, explaining in immersive detail what milling was all about back in the day, occasionally treating us to a bit of insight into Tolkien’s life back when he lived around the mill.
The third aspect that we were looking forward to (the pizza) was unfortunately a big disappointment. Not only was it mediocre at be...

We loved this tour so much that we woke up early on the Sunday to do the Middle earth tour they also offer, which again made a very pleasant experience.
There is a little gift shop with books and some other products related to both Tolkien and the Mill itself, and also a little cafe with delicious pizzas and drinks.
I would also suggest visiting Mosley bog, a natural reserve near the mill, and the Shire, across the road, specially if you love trees and running water like we do.
