The Old Mill carries the rich history of an operational 18th-century flour mill, a testament to work that continued until just after World War I. In 2020, a brilliant transformation took place, turning this historic mill into a beautiful spot of riverside peace and quiet, situated in the heart of the New Forest. Found near the charming town of Lymington, this pub offers easy access to the diverse attractions of the South Coast, including scenic walks, pretty beaches, shopping, and local points of interest. Proudly affiliated with the Upham Inns collection, renowned for its portfolio of idyllic pubs across Hampshire, Berkshire, Sussex, and Wiltshire, The Old Mill upholds to its high standards.
