About Sarehole Mill

Sarehole Mill is a 250 year old idyllic watermill only four miles from Birmingham city centre. The cobbled courtyard and millpond provide a tranquil haven away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

The mill has a connection with the author JRR Tolkien, author of the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings trilogy. He lived across the road when he was a boy, and later in life he stated how the mill and rural surroundings inspired his writings of Middle-earth.
