P42196 - White Mill, Sturminster Marshall, Dorset - Dorset

The mill is National Trust-owned, and is only open at weekends and Bank Holiday Mondays.   Since this visit was on a (non-bank holiday) Monday (this replaces a 2015 shot), I was unable to enter the grounds and had to make do with photographing it from the road (looking north in this case).

I had some difficulty deciding which collection this photograph should go into.   I didn't have enough photographs of the mill to justify a new National Trust collection, so it was either the "Dorset" collection or the "Kingston Lacy" collection (I believe the mill is part of the KL estate); in the end I've decided on the former, but I won't guarantee it won't be moved at a later date

There is a car park on the right hand side of the road just past the mill as you head towards Kingston Lacy.  Since I didn't enter the premises and my NT membership was not scanned for any reason, this has not been counted towards my 2026 NT visits total.
