Lying at a low point of the Evenlode Valley at the confluence of Taston and Coldron Brooks, Coldron Mill is a ‘captive site’ and SSSI, teeming with wildlife.

The history of the Mill can be traced back to around 840AD, when King Bertwulf of Mercia granted Spelsbury to the Bishop of Worcester. The Domesday Book of 1086 records a water-mill at Spelsbury worth 50d.

Since 1997, the current owners have installed a new millwheel (the old, wooden one is in storage with the Science Museum) and continued the garden project begun by the previous owners, planting an arboretum with over 100 native and exotic species. They have also begun the restoration of an adjoining ancient meadow.

Limited numbers – don’t miss this rare opportunity!
