Description
Park Mill is a operational corn mill (and later sawmill) with medieval origins. The mill ceased grinding corn in the 1960s and closed in 1983. Currently open to the public as part of the 'Gower Heritage Centre' based upon the mill and adjacent farm buildings. The breast shot waterwheel dates from the early nineteenth century and drives two pairs of stones, and also a circular saw by a belt drive.
