Stretton Watermill offers something for every visitor. The site consists of the working mill, an old 19th century stable which houses an exhibition and pleasant grounds with a picnic area.

After learning about the history of the mill in our attractive exhibition, one of our millers will take you on a fascinating tour around the mill.

See the ancient wooden machinery in action, listen to stories, have a go at milling grain, work miniature models, wander round the displays or just relax and enjoy the beautiful countryside setting at one of Cheshire’s best kept secrets.

How to Get There

Stretton Watermill is only 10 miles from Chester off the A534 between Farndon and Broxton. Turn off at the Cock O’ Barton pub and follow the brown signs.

The mill’s postcode is SY14 7JA. It is located on Mill Lane, but shows as an un-named road on some Sat Nav systems.

Buses: the mill is in a very rural area and bus links are very limited. The 41 and 41A services from Chester to Clutton via Malpas and Tilston are the closest to the mill. Details can be found at Cheshire West and Chester's Public Transport Pages.

Facilities

The mill has a gift shop, car park, accessible toilet and an attractive picnic area.
