Stotfold Watermill,
is in an idyllic setting on the River Ivel, Having burnt
down in 1992, it is now a completely rebuilt Grade II listed watermill
with three fully accessible floors to view. It was rebuilt and restored by a huge team of volunteers working
alongside mill specialists. Its the 4.4 metre wide
overshot waterwheel is the widest in the country. Here is a link to their website http://www.stotfoldmill.com/
20 of us were given a slide show and talk by volunteers and were then taken round the mill.
We had a superb lunch provided by the mill staff and then we progressed to the Stotfold nature reserve which has only been open since June 2011 but has won awards and is progressing nicely.
Thank you FOSC for inviting us and perhaps the Bogtrotters may visit again in the future as it was an enjoyable visit.
