Y Felin


Close by St Dogmaels Abbey is another historic building, the flour mill Y Felin.  Dating back at least to the 1640s, it is one of the last working water-mills in Wales producing stoneground flour.  It was purchased in the 1970s by Michael Hall and his wife, who restored it (including the adjoining millpond) and now produce a range of traditional stoneground flours.

My daughter bought some spelt flour, so no doubt at some point I will be able to report on the bread she will make from it.  (Unlike her mother, she's a terrific and adventurous cook!)

    What a fabulous place! Don't you think pink roses match very well with old grey walls?!

    Water mills are fascinating places. I wonder where their mill stones come from :)

    Such a pretty sight with the pink rambling rose sitting beautifully against the grey brick. I'm sure the spelt loaf will be delish.
