help Bossington Mill FAQ

Where is Bossington Mill located?

Bossington Mill sits in the small village of Bossington in Somerset, just west of Porlock and within Exmoor National Park. It sits in a scenic spot between the moor and the Bristol Channel coast.

Can you visit Bossington Mill inside?

The mill is privately owned and not generally open to the public, so visits are limited to viewing the exterior and its setting. Much of the surrounding village belongs to the National Trust's Holnicote Estate, which is publicly accessible.

Why is Bossington Mill historically notable?

The building retains surviving 19th-century milling machinery, which is rare for a small West Country watermill. That hardware is what gives it heritage designation interest rather than just its picturesque looks.

Are there good walks near Bossington Mill?

Yes, the South West Coast Path passes through Bossington on its way between Porlock Weir and Minehead. The village is also a common stop on walks onto the Holnicote Estate and the neighbouring hills.
