Jordans Mill Connections Tour
Jordans Mill, Langford Road, Biggleswade, Bedfordshire, SG18 9JY
At Jordans Mill you can step back in time during your tour of our historic flour Mill, home to the Jordan family since 1893. You'll discover how near tragedy from two devastating fires was overcome and see the mill machinery in action. There will be an opportunity to explore the historical importance of the River Ivel connecting Mills in Bedfordshire to the ports for trade. You will also discover how the very first railway station in Bedfordshire opened up access to London.
The 19th Century Mill has been divided in two by a spectacular floor-to-ceiling glass screen, with the working part of the Mill on one side and a contemporary display area on the other. Our knowledgeable and friendly tour guides will be on hand during your visit to demonstrate the mill machinery and recount tales of the Jordan family’s journey from farming and milling to cereals!
Little historians can get creative with our Children’s Mill Trail, a fun activity leaflet with questions, dot-to-dot, colouring, fun facts and things to find during the tour.
Explore the beautifully designed Mill Gardens which represent the rich market garden heritage of the surrounding area, with ornamental and crop plants alongside vegetables and fruit. No visit would be complete without refreshments in the Riverside Cafe overlooking the tranquil River Ivel or a browse around the Mill Shop to pick up gifts or your favourite Jordans Cereal products.
