Buildings and amenities

The settlement is centred on the water mill with its iron overshot millwheel.^[1] A mill in this location appears on a 1760 map, though the current mill dates to 1781. It is Grade II listed.^[1]

Bridge at the River Solva at Middle Mill

A three-arch stone road bridge crosses the river nearby, also Grade II listed and possibly dating back to the late 18th-century (one of its arches is over the mill leat).^[2]

There is also a Baptist chapel, originating in the 18th-century, though the existing building dates from 1833.^[3]

A commercial woollen mill is in operation in buildings behind the water mill, producing woven goods but currently specialising in making stair carpets.^[4] It made a carpet for the Carmarthenshire residence of Charles, Prince of Wales.^[4] Now called Solva Woollen Mill, it was originally opened in January 1907 and is the oldest working woollen mill in Pembrokeshire.^[5]
