Carew Tidal Mill and French Mill House, Pembrokeshire
Carew Tidal Mill is the only restored tidal mill in Wales and one of just five in the UK.
Documentary evidence exists which shows a mill on this spot as early as 1542. The present building dates from the early 19th century. The Mill, known locally as the ‘French Mill’, possibly because the grinding stones were imported from France, was last used for milling in around 1937.
Next to the mill is French Mill House, a Victorian property that served as the miller's house.
