Preserving The Past For The Future
Welcome to Gower Heritage Centre:
Explore our Iconic Historic Water-Powered Flour Mill – built in the 12th Century. We also have rural history displays all about the history and heritage of agricultural Gower. A number of craft workshops are also based at the Centre. We are open every day 10am to 5pm together with our Poultry Park and tea garden.
Dogs are welcome on a lead. For younger visitors we have mini tractors, diggers and a small soft play area- all undercover. In the grounds of the Mill we have a larger sand pit with a swing, slides and play castle to climb on
Visitors always say about the Centre that:
“Its a lot bigger on the inside than it looks from the outside”

About us and our history
We proudly celebrate the rich history and culture of the Gower Peninsula. At the heart of our site is our fully operational 12th-century watermill, a cherished symbol of the area’s agricultural and industrial heritage. Originally built to grind grain for local farmers, our mill has been lovingly restored and continues to function as both a working facility and a living piece of history.
Since opening in 1990, our mission has been to preserve and share the unique heritage of the Gower. Through hands-on demonstrations of traditional crafts like blacksmithing, woodworking, and milling, we invite you to experience the ingenuity of those who came before us. These activities not only honour the past but also bring history to life in meaningful ways.
We’re more than just a historical site; we’re a thriving cultural hub. Our seasonal events, workshops, and fairs bring people together, while our educational programs teach the importance of sustainability and heritage preservation. Rooted in the local community, we take pride in fostering a connection to the Gower’s rich past.
By preserving this special place, we ensure the stories of the Gower inspire and educate generations to come.
