Redbournbury Mill, a water-driven flour mill, lies on the River Ver between St Albans and Redbourn in the county of Hertfordshire.
Today, after a ten-year restoration project, the mill is working again and producing organic flour that is sold at the mill and in local shops and markets, and is used by local restaurants.
Adjacent to the mill are two deep fords which can be crossed by car with care, allowing a road connection between the A5 and A6 near Harpenden.
