For over four centuries Talgarth Mill has stood beside the River Ennig.

Today, it remains one of only five working watermills in Wales and the only working watermill in Bannau Brycheiniog. It welcomes visitors, support local businesses, provide educational experiences and keep traditional milling skills alive.

Talgarth Mill is run solely by volunteers: directors, millers, baggers and gardeners, for the benefit of the community and visitors, but now it needs help.

Running an historic watermill is a constant financial challenge. The waterwheel, machinery, millrace and historic building all require regular maintenance and repairs. Without ongoing care, this unique part of our heritage, could be lost.

Currently the waterwheel has stopped turning and needs urgent repairs.

Every donation, no matter how large or small, will make a real difference. The support received will help ensure that the wheel turns, the stones keep grinding, and the community and visitors alike, can continue to experience a living piece of Welsh history.

A spokesperson for Talgarth Mill said: “This isn't just about preserving an old building: it's about protecting a working mill that brings people together, celebrates traditional skills, supports the local economy and keeps an important chapter of Welsh heritage alive.

“With your help, Talgarth Mill can continue to inspire visitors, educate future generations, and remain a place where history is not just remembered—but experienced.”

A Crowdfunder for the Mill’s repairs launches on Wednesday 30th September.

Their target is £20,000 to get the wheel turning again and carry out essential maintenance works.

The Mill promises that every pound raised will be used to support the maintenance, conservation and operation of Talgarth Mill.
