Carew Tidal Mill offers free entry for National Mills Weekend
CAREW TIDAL MILL will be offering free admission after 3pm on Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 May to mark National Mills Weekend. The event gives visitors the chance to explore Wales' only intact tidal mill and discover how tidal power helped shape the area's industrial past. National Mills Weekend is the annual celebration of the UK's milling heritage, with historic mills across the country opening their doors to the public. The event shines a light on these remarkable buildings and the role they played in local communities for centuries. Carew Tidal Mill is one of just five restored tidal mills in the UK. Although milling ceased in 1937, the original machinery remains intact – offering a rare glimpse into the past. The current mill building dates from the early 19th century, but documentary evidence suggests a mill has stood on the site since at least 1542. Following a period of dereliction, the mill was restored in 1972 by the Carew Estate, supported by the Historic Buildings Council of Wales, Pembrokeshire County Council and Pembroke Rural District Council. Visitors to the Mill can explore its history through interactive displays, an exhibition and audio commentary, showing how water has been harnessed as a source of sustainable energy through the ages. Daisy Hughes, Manager of Carew Castle and Tidal Mill, said: 'Carew Tidal Mill stands as a rare example of industrial heritage, showing how water has been harnessed for centuries to power communities. National Mills Weekend is the ideal time to celebrate this history and welcome visitors inside.' Free entry to Carew Tidal Mill is available from 3pm to 4.30pm on both days. Last admission is at 4.30pm and the Mill closes at 5pm. Free admission applies to the Mill only and does not include entry to the Castle.
