Bishops Lydeard Mill

A charming water mill at the end of the West Somerset Railway - 5 mins easy walk, with nearby bus stops too. Friendly staff, lots of exhibits. Nice cafe & garden. Well presented. Modest entrance prices. Well worth our small detour after our train ride.

Went here today via steam train from minehead… we already knew about this place it’s brilliant, very small but absolutely packed with things to look at and learn!, spent nearly 2 hrs there before realising it!…. Ended with a lovely cup of tea too.., lovely friendly ppl really worth a visit and not far from train station….. such a shame it’s not advertised at the station, poor show from them I think!. We used google street maps and only few minutes walk and great pub with very nice food on the way 😉 Highly recommended

What a wonderful find. A delightfully layed out museum with very well kept gardens. We especially liked the period agricultural & war displays, adding a nice touch to the museum. The tour was finished in their lovely cafe. Light food including fresh cakes & scones, washed down with tea coffee all at very reasonably prices. All served by a very welcoming member of staff. Whilst there, we discovered an elderly couple who had travelled by bus & the West Somerset railway. We went by car with the car park only a couple of minutes from entrance. We weren't disappointed by the mill not working as everything is all in place anyway showing all the machinery as it was. A great visit, which we would highly recommend.

This is a great place to visit for children. Interactive and looks so much bigger than you realise. Parking is an issue if busy. Really helpful and welcoming. Lovely cafe cakes and tea. Nice garden.

Lovely afternoon spent with the family especially for the little ones. The team room was also great! Kind and friendly were the hosts.

Brilliant.. left it a bit late in the day for our visit, but they were so accommodating. Coffee and cake good too. I've lived here in Lydeard for many years.. never visited it.. it's a Charity, and such a gem of a place

Well the mill is there and several displays of related 19th century (or earlier) tool making and maize grinding, but the water no longer runs through it. The stream itself now follows a different course as a result of private landlord squabbles. It's a pity as a running mill would be much more exciting.

Went on the steam train from Minehead and looked for places to visit and found the mill.....well worth a visit amazing place wonderfully set up and beautiful location. .... also a lovely little cafe.
