Mill Green Museum and Watermill — Attraction in Welwyn Hatfield

From first impressioms the museum is a picturesque setting on the river Lea, the grounds are beautifully well kept and have a pieces of old equiptment that are on show.

We were greeted by a really lovely lady that gave us an insightful explanation of some of the exhibits showing the local history, the works of local authors and other famous or influential people and places, a few pieces from the local history of De Havilland in the local area. as you walk through to the mill there is an interactive section with gears and cogs that can be assembled and turned on a play board.

As we entered the mill the miller greeted us and was incredibly welcoming to our non neuro typical eight year old boy and our whole family. The miller had a highly valued understanding of neuro divergence and the conversation was highly intresting and enjoyable. The mill operates in a very safely restricted fashion that still provides very good viewing experiece and sensory experiences from the hand made wooden cosntruction with a few pieces of cast or wrought irom.

The overal experience was highly pleasurable and enjoyable for children and adults.

All there is yet to do is make some bread with the whole meal flour that was milled with this historic working...

I'm not a person that often writes reviews, nor one that gives a five star rating for that matter, but I can't think of a place that more deserves a brilliant review than this one. I went here last week and I'm still thinking about how wonderful it was. Memories of my wonderful and interesting conversation with Mike the Miller make me smile at inappropriate times during my day. I'd also like to give special commendation to the lovely man that was working at the front desk at the beginning and the cafe at the end, and the brilliant woman that was working in the shop. Its incredible how everyone I met here seems to care about this place so much. I will admit when I was brought here I didn't expect to enjoy it very much, but now I'm telling everyone who'll listen about how lovely my experience was. As a final note, I will urge you (as other reviews have) to get the cream tea. The scones are made with flour they milled on site, and the emperor grey tea will change your life. Thank you for a wonderful day out to all the people at Mill Green Museum and Mill on Sunday the 6th...

We had an amazing time at the Mill Green Museum! We were greeted by Simon who talked to us about the gardens and the different plants growing there. The staff (Simon, Jim and Abbie) were all so friendly and knowledgeable. Jim the Miller was enthusiastic and gave a very informative tour and demonstration of the milling process and history of the mill. The gift shop sold their own flour which we are all looking forward to using and the cafe has a good selection of baked goods using their flour too! They answered all of our questions and curiosities and it was a very enjoyable day! Definitely recommend for any ages, be that University students like us, or families (the museum had a very interactive display showing how the mill works which was fun!). Such a beautiful location too on the River Lea! A little gem! :) - Psychology department at...
