Talgarth Mill

We had a lovely tour (£5) around the mill last Saturday morning! It was so interesting and full of history. We also loved the gift shop and even got to buy some flour, made in the mill, to make sourdough with 🍞 The cafe is also lovely, with great outside seating, right beside the waterwheel. Highly recommend!

Wow this place is awesome!!! We holiday every year to the Brecon beacons and always stay about 10 mins from Talgarth! My husband and son had done the Mill tour in 2019 so we all decided to all go this time. We met Dave at 11am and he showed all the parts of the Mill inside and out. It was very informative, we all learned something and it was interactive for the kids too! We were so engrossed we forgot to take loads of pics!! We did capture our son trying a hand mill!! 😆 Hard work!! Dave was fantastic, all the volunteers were fantastic and the flour milled hereis brilliant! The packing lady recommended the spicy bun loaf which seemed too good to miss. Looking forward to some Easter baking! If you’re in the area the Mill Tour is well worth it! A great opportunity to support some working heritage. Thanks you all x

Review by Matt Godfrey (left in incorrect place): Stopped en route to north Wales to stretch our legs. Lovely garden and cafe. Free entry and bread baked using their flower available to buy. Well worth a visit.

Stopped here on the way to our holiday in Mid Wales, and so glad we did. Gorgeous cafe and delicious food and drinks. A selection of books and games for children and our dog was welcome. Very friendly staff. Didn't have chance to visit the mill, only the cafe but worth stopping by.

Gareth was very knowledgeable, he had a brilliant sense of humour and answered all our questions expertly. We were unable to purchase flour, awaiting stocks. Because of the dry weather, the mill was not working. This is a fantastic place to visit and a credit to the restoration workers. A lovely gift shop.

I bought lovely, freshly baked bread, then sat in for coffee and cake. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The cafe is busy. Set in a pretty Welsh village/town. Well worth a visit

One of the millers, Mike, treated us to an outstanding explanation from a real enthusiast of the mill's background and restoration, alongside a demonstration of the milling process. I can't recommend this experience enough, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and learnt something at the same time! You'll find free parking less than 5 minutes walk away, and we can also recommend the cafe. As you might expect flour is available for purchase, alongside baking recipes and kits.

A big thanks to Neil who gave us a detailed insight into the history and renovation of Talgarth Mill. As an engineer I was particularly interested in their solution to introduce pumps to provide the water feed during times when the mill stream is low on water. Excavating a sump beneath the wheel into which the suction pipes would drawer water to feed the wheel was ingenious. But over time and in times of flood the sump would become inundated with silt. Neil identified the problem but with no solution other than manually digging out the silt. I would like to suggest that when the sump is dug they line it with a builders dumpy bag which would collect the silt. Allowing them to hoist it out periodically to empty the debris.

Visiting Glasbury, stopped at Talgarth Mill which was recommended by locals. Old fashioned flour mill staffed completely by volunteers. They give personal tours which ends at the cafe. Guide told us about the origin of the mill. Explained how the wheel was powered from the river and how the grain was grown locally and then ground into flour. It sat in disrepair for a long time until someone purchased and renovated it. They sell baked goods made with their own flour. We purchased a loaf of the bread to take with us. Picturesque. Worth a trip.

After driving a good 60 miles just to visit this place, I finally made it. Upon arrival you are faced with the choice of visiting the Cafe or joining a Tour around the Flour Mill. Me and my partner decided to go for the tour first. It wasn't very busy so we were given a personal tour around the Mill by a man who had worked there for decades. It was a very enlightening experience to see how much work actually went into making flour. He even opened up the dam in the small stream to get the water wheel running to show us how it all worked properly. He was very informative and friendly, we left there having learned a great deal. Afterwards we visited the Cafe and I opted for the Tapas, or a similar dish. And I wasn't disappointed. The food tasted very authentic and rustic, the cheese and bread in particular. I was very pleased with our visit there. And would highly recommend it
