This picturesque early 19th century mill is situated in delightful surroundings on the banks of the River Mole. It is Grade II listed and is the only surviving fully working watermill in Surrey. It was originally part of a much larger mill complex that once stood alongside. Its rural location next to the nearby weirs, the views over the adjacent fields and farmland, and the variety of local wildlife, make it ideally placed for leisurely exploration.
Come and discover how, after having been abandoned, vandalised, and allowed to fall into disrepair for decades, the mill has been restored and brought back to life and preserved as a working museum. Now, with what remained of the original machinery recovered, carefully restored and reassembled, and some replacement parts manufactured, the milling of corn can once again be demonstrated.
Enjoy scrumptuous home made scones, tea and cakes, and see our selection of souvenirs. Freshly milled flour is generally available shoud you wish to take some home. There are educational and fun actiitvities for children and well behaved dogs are welcome.
School and group visits are welcome at the mill at other times and by special arrangement. Preferably, e-mail your request to info@cobhammill.org.uk with the details of your group (incl. approximate numbers), your name, and contact number, and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
The mill does not have on-site parking or toilet facilities. On Sundays there is usually ample public parking in Cobham within easy walking distance of the mill. However, limited parking space for the elderly, infirm, or disabled can be reserved by special request provided that suitable arrangements are made and confirmed in advance.
