Jordans Mill is a hidden gem, tucked in away in the heart of rural Bedfordshire on the banks of the River Ivel. It is a unique food heritage attraction with something for all the family, offering tours of the historic flour mill, beautiful gardens and woodland to explore, and the Riverside Café serving freshly made seasonal and local food and drinks. Jordans Mill is open seven days a week from 9am until 5pm. On Thursdays and Fridays it is open until 9pm during summer months.


A key part of the visitor experience is a guided tour of the lovingly restored, iconic Victorian mill which is steeped in history and situated in a glorious location. Home to the Jordan family of cereals renown since 1855, the mill is a fine example of Victorian engineering. The tour which lasts approximately one hour takes visitors on a fascinating journey from the beginnings of milling in Bedfordshire to Jordan Cereals place as one of the leading UK cereal brands. Guided tours cost £5.50 but if you prefer you may do the free self guided tour and wander at your own leisure. The nearby Mill Barn also offers further information on milling, biodiversity, the Jordan family and Bedfordshire’s food history. It’s a great way for children to learn about grains, flour and how bread is made.


Visitors are free to wander through the stunning Mill Gardens, unique food and flower gardens where crops, vegetables and fruits are grown alongside wild flowers and cultivated garden plants. The Mill Gardens were designed by Chelsea Flower show winners Toll and Kitson who took inspiration from ancient field layouts, hedge patterns and the flow of the river Ivel.
From the Mill Gardens stroll across the bridge into our Mill Meadow and Woodland which are specially designed to attract wildlife. Let the children get back to nature with our cone throwing game, woodland path, tepees and bug hotel. They can also go on the hunt for wildlife with our “Let’s Go Wild Passport”, free with the purchase of any children’s meal from the Riverside Café.

Enjoy a meal or a snack in the Riverside Café with it stunning riverside terrace and picturesque views over the mill pond. The Café serves a varied and delicious seasonal menu, using local ingredients where possible, indeed much of the produce from the Mill Gardens makes its way into the kitchen. Food is served from 9am until 3pm although during summer months food is served until 8pm on Thursday and Friday evenings.
To complete your visit browse our Mill Store with its wide range of Jordans products, cereals , local products and other ingredients.
