We recently visited Jordans Mill near Biggleswade. The mill is a food heritage attraction situated on the banks of the River Ivel and amongst beautiful grounds. You can explore the historic Victorian mill and enjoy guided tours that take you through time and shows you the milling machinery used.
The mill gardens are stunning with crops of various cereals, fruits and vegetables growing alongside ornamental flowers and plants. There are also meadow areas and woodlands to explore and enjoy and when you've finished all that the cafe is open for a refreshing cuppa. The cafe has a large open terrace overlooking the mill and the river and has beautiful views. It serves food and drink daily. There's also a mill shop where you can purchase Jordans breakfast cereals, flour and baking ingredients.
Take a look at the pictures and see what's in bloom in the garden in May. We spotted sweet peas beginning to flower, forget-me-nots, pansies, alliums, amsonia and dianthus blooming amongst beds of wild areas, ornamental grasses, fruit and vegetable patches and an apple orchard. A 'cereal safari' is marked around the garden too, as there are banks of various cereals such as rye, barley and oats, set amongst the gardens.
It will be interesting to visit the garden again soon to see how it changes and what is in flower in summer.
