Crabble Corn Mill in Dover is a working flour mill built in 1812 on the site of previous mills dating back as far as at least 1227. The mill was rescued from demolition and opened to the public in 1990, following extensive restoration. It is now considered one of the best working examples of a Georgian watermill in Europe. Owned, operated, and maintained by Crabble Corn Mill Trust, it is run entirely by volunteers. Visitors can take self or guided tours exploring six floors of exhibits and milling machinery that describe the process of turning wheat into flour. This Dover gem also hosts special events, including festivals and acoustic music nights.
