A living tradition
Y Felin (Welsh for 'The Mill') is one of the last working water mills in Wales producing traditional stoneground flour.
Set in picturesque surroundings adjacent to the 12th Century Abbey of St Dogmaels, the adjoining mill pond is home to a variety of waterfowl which you are welcome to feed.
We produce a range of stoneground flours. A selection of flours are available from the mill. On a Tuesday we also have bread baked from our stoneground flour. This coincides with the St Dogmaels weekly local producers market located in the Abbey car park.
We run guided tours of the mill which are both enjoyable and educational. The tours are by appointment, so please contact the Miller Emma.
Our History
Y Felin has had several owners from the 1640s, the period about which there is documentary proof. Amongst these owners two families stand out. One is the Webley Parry family who owned the Mynachlogddu Estates in Pembrokeshire and who bought various properties in or near St Dogmaels including Y Felin.
Eventually the mill passed into the hands of another well-known local family: the Gwynnes, who it seems had some interest in the property prior to the Webley Parry's. The mill was worked by several generations of Gwynnes until 1926 when Mr Evan Gwynne died aged 56.
