The Welsh Mills Society was launched in October 1984. The aims of the Society are

..to study, record, interpret and publicise the wind and watermills of Wales

..to encourage general interest

The Society’s Annual General Meeting is held in October and a Spring regional meeting, alternating between north and south Wales, is held in late April. See forthcoming events for our next meeting.

The Welsh Mills Society arranges lectures, films, visits to mills, demonstrations and courses on mill recording techniques and millwrighting as well as actively publicising mills which are open to the public. Our members engage in a wide range of mill related activities.

Regular newsletters are sent to all members, together with the Society’s annual journal, Melin, containing articles on subjects relating to the Welsh mills scene.

Carew Tide Mill news:

Please note that Carew causeway will be closed for essential maintenance for a number of weeks from Monday 22 February onwards.  Although at present we are not allowed to travel due to covid it is possible this restriction will be lifted before the maintenance work is complete so it may not be feasible to celebrate by walking to the tide mill just yet.
