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.
