Highlight • Structure

Still milling flour today, this beautiful mill is well worth taking five minutes to listen to the water. You might even be lucky enough to spot the local otter!

Nice views from White Mill Bridge over the River Stour.
The bridge is a grade 1 listed 14th century stone bridge.
The National Trust managed White Bridge Mill is close by. A 18th century corn mill which still houses the old wooden machinery. You can visit the mill from 12:00 - 16:00 on weekends.

View of the River Stour and Stone Arch Bridge

From this beautiful multi-arched stone bridge, you can enjoy views of the River Stour as it flows through Blandford Forum. The only downside is that it has a sidewalk on only one side.
