Pann Mill Watermill

Pann Mill sits at the eastern end of High Wycombe and is a gateway to the Rye open space. It is the last operating water mill on the river Wye, a tributary of the Thames. At one time there were 37 water mills on or near the River Wye along the 11 miles from its source at West Wycombe to the the Thames at Bourne End. Pann Mill is one of the few remaining, and the only one in operation.
You can still buy flour milled here, at the Open Days which they hold about three times a year. Today the water was flowing very fast through the mill race, and the Wye was flowing over its banks onto the footpath further along - good conditions for getting the wheel in motion!
