Talgarth mill near brecon

[neilos83]

Restored flour mill in talgarth. You can have a tour of the mill and buy some of the flour they produce. There is this wood fired oven in the restaurant/bakery

They have pizza nights once every few weeks. The people there are really friendly. Highly recommend a visit if you are in the brecon area. They mill some awesome flour too.

Even at this distance, you get a great flavour of their energy, the ethos and the fascination - particularly liked this, re the waterwheel: "it will turn with no more than a litre of water filling each bucket – enough to turn about 6 tonnes of machinery"

Great find. I really should get out more...

I love Talgarth Mill. A tour of the mill is fascinating. It's not until you take and tour....and here the history of the mill, just how much work...mostly voluntary and money it took to make Talgarth mill once again a working mill. Me and Stef (wifey) have made some beautiful loaves from their flour.....I'm a plain Jane and love a simple or sourdough white loaf. Their strong white gives great results. Wifey is a wholemeal and sodabread freak and I love it when she bakes a wholemeal loaf using Talgarth's stoneground wholemeal flour.

I bought a few bags of their flour and made a beautiful wholemeal loaf with it. I've got some seeded and Rye flour of theirs to play with at some point too. There were no tours on the day I visited but I would definitely return to do a tour.
