Nether Alderley Mill
Nether Alderley Mill is a picturesque 16th-century watermill tucked beneath a long stone roof, quietly grinding away beside a leafy Cheshire lane as it has for centuries. The unusual timber-framed interior, with its ancient machinery still intact, gives a vivid sense of how rural communities once fed themselves. It is one of the most complete and atmospheric old mills in the north-west.
