Details

Le Moulin de Quétivel, located in one of Jersey's most picturesque valleys, is the only surviving working watermill on the island. Its history can be traced back to 1309, with the current granite-built structure dating from the 18th century. Surrounded by water meadows, a visit to the mill offers a fascinating insight into Jersey's agricultural and industrial heritage.

The mill fell into disrepair by the end of the 19th century but was reactivated during the German Occupation in World War II for grinding locally grown corn. After a fire in 1945 destroyed much of the machinery and structure, the National Trust for Jersey began restoration in 1971, and the mill now produces stoneground flour again. Visitors can learn about Jersey's history of exporting flour and the resurgence of milling during the occupation. The site includes a National Trust shop and a small tearoom.

Quaint and interesting. If you can't park in the little carpark close by, there is overflow parking further down the road and a walk back along the path/cycle path. It's easy to cycle to.

Scenic place with a great little cafe and tasty homemade cake! It was interesting to see the mill at work. The staff were very friendly too

Jersey's only remaining working water mill, when there used to be 45. The National Trust refurbished it in the 70s after a fire, and they hold heritage milling days where freshly ground flour can be purchased.
The woods behind the mill and adjacent cycle track are also a great place for a walk.
The mill is only open certain days. Get in touch with National Trust Jersey.
Dogs welcome and there is also a cafe and gift shop.

Wonderful gem hidden in a green valley. As it was a rainy day decided to visit this working watermill, I'm so glad I did, what a lovely place. Renovated by the Nation Trust of Jersey, it gives a glimpse into the working life of a Miller, and the process of grinding grain into flour. The volunteers were friendly and helpful. A guide gives you an understanding of the processes, and there's a tearoom for refreshments at the end, what more could you want!
