Worsbrough Mill and Country Park

About Worsbrough Mill Museum and Country Park

Worsbrough Mill is a 17th century working water powered corn mill, set in over 200 acres of country park. It has a designated Local Nature Reserve with fishing, walking and cycling being just a few of the activities to take part in.

During your visit call in to the gift shop selling flour milled on site, alongside other cereal produces and the locally made Worsbrough Mill Loaf, ice creams, hot and cold drinks, local history books, gifts and souvenirs. 

Events, workshops and activities are held throughout the year and educational and group visits are catered for. The Mill complex and Country Park can be hired as a unique historical venue for internal and external training sessions. Also an ideal setting for Wedding photographs, with the 17th century Mill in the background.

Worsbrough Mill Museum & Country Park has three walks within its boundaries, but is also a good base for the Trans Pennine Trail or other longer walks (leaflets are available at the information point within the Mill Shop).
