OSMINGTON MILLS
'' by John Constable, painted 1816–17 on the coast to the west of Osmington Mills.]]
'Osmington Mills' is a small village on the coast between Ringstead Bay to the east and the town of Weymouth to the west, in Dorset, southern England.
The picturesque village is popular with holidaymakers. Although the coastline here is rocky, fossils may be found in the cliffs and the geology is especially interesting. The thatched ''Smugglers Inn'' [1], dating back to the 13th century, with a garden and stream, is frequented by tourists.
It is possible to walk along a path that follows the cliff tops. The walk east to Bran Point and on to Ringstead (about a mile away) is particularly pleasant. There is a good view looking over to the Isle of Portland.
The village and the local area was painted by the leading English landscape artist John Constable (1776–1837). For example, see ''.
Osington Mills is located at the end of a winding no through road. Inland on the main road is the larger village of Osmington. The village is in the parish of Osmington.
