In Commercial Road, Exeter, close to the river. There is no car parking available at the mill, but there are car parks nearby in the centre of Exeter. Walk from the centre of Exeter to the Quay, past the Customs House (with cannons outside), over the leat bridge and along Commercial Road for roughly one minute. When you come to an art gallery on your right, turn right past it and the mill is the white building in front of you.

The mill has three undershot waterwheels, all 19th century, with 19th century iron machinery.  It has one working pair of millstones and another bed stone in situ. The oldest features in the mill are 17th century. The mill is home to the Devon Wildlife Trust and has interpretation about the mill and wildlife.
