Nant Mill

Nant Mill is a historic watermill located in Wales, specifically in the Nant Mill National Nature Reserve near Wrexham. The mill itself is a Grade II listed building, recognized for its historical and architectural significance. It is powered by the Afon Clywedog (River Clywedog) and demonstrates the traditional methods of grinding grain using water power.

Historically, Nant Mill served the local community by providing a place to grind wheat and other grains into flour. The milling process relied on the flow of water from the river turning a water wheel, which in turn powered the grinding stones within the mill.

Today, while the mill may not be fully operational in a commercial sense, it serves as an important educational and tourist attraction. Visitors can often learn about the history of the mill, the mechanics of water-powered milling, and the importance of mills in the local and regional economy of past centuries. The surrounding Nant Mill National Nature Reserve also offers opportunities for walking and exploring the natural environment. Preservation efforts are focused on maintaining the mill as a historical landmark and educating the public about its significance.
