Martry Mill - Working Water Mill Tour

Martry Mill is one of the few working watermills in Ireland, where the Tallon family have been producing stoneground wholemeal flour since 1859.

They supply bakeries, supermarkets and shops around Meath with their wholemeal flour, and supply directly from the mill. Located just 1km upstream from where the ancient Tailtean Games were held, Martry Mill is brimming with history.

They open for tours, if you want to see the milling process and learn about the history of the building, the flour and the area. Check out their social media for updates.

 James has worked in Martry Mill his entire life, and is an expert in mill history and flour production. He loves any opportunity to talk about the mill's history, anecdotes from growing up there, and how Martry Mill is part of the local community.

While they don’t open the mill to the public on a day-to-day basis, they do have regular open days throughout the year. 

Martry Mill Bread Baking Experience

Visit Irelands oldest working watermill and learn all about the history of mills, flour and Martry Mill itself. They will start with drinks and bread tasting on arrival, arrive 15/20 minutes early and explore the mill before the baking class at 3:15, make and bake bread with flour that is ground after you arrive at the mill. As your loaf bakes, take in a tour and a milling demonstration. Learn how the river is harnessed for power, how their old eel fishery used to work and see the pre industrial revolution machinery still used today to make the best quality wholewheat flour. You will have your freshly baked loaf of brown bread to take home with you too.
