Parndon Mill has a rich history dating back to the 19th century, when it operated as a busy watermill.
The original mill was burnt down by a fire in 1897, but rebuilt in 1900 and transformed into a community arts hub. The mill has studios, galleries, and workshops for local artists and craftspeople. There's also a pretty lock and great views down the river from here, a nice place to sit and enjoy a snack.

An artists' hub - glass blowing, painting, pottery, even a luthier (guitar maker)!
Remember to walk your bike through the gate and across the bridge so as not to upset those working at the Mill.

Smooth fast gravel surface Byway, mostly flat straight lines with some technical bits thrown in. Recommended in dry conditions/maybe passable in the wet, too - with the right tyres/bike. 🚲 🚵
