Welcome to The Paper Trail

Summer Fun at Frogmore Paper Mill!

Check out all the extra events we are holding this summer - so why not come along and visit the site of the world's first mechanised paper machine and have a fun day out!

So what is The Paper Trail and why would you want to visit?
The Paper Trail project is an industrial 'exploration' centre built around an historic, paper mill. It offers public access into the heart of what was a real working environment and is complemented by an active business & industrial enterprise hub. The Frogmore Mill site is unique in the fact that it is the site of the world's first ever commercial working papermachine and can be claimed to be at the heart of the communication revolution.

Located in Hemel Hempstead at Frogmore Mill and Apsley Mill - the birthplace of paper's industrial revolution - the project allows visitors to learn about and experience:

  • the past of an industry that helped shape the modern world
  • the present of commercial recycled papermaking 
  • the future of one of the world's few inherently sustainable industries - paper.

Come and see it happening at the place where it all began.

SCHOOLS Recycling 

Frogmore Mill has specialised in recycled papermaking for over 110 years. Recycle for learning is our latest sustainability project - providing schools with new paper from their old waste paper, that we collect from them.More about Recycle for Learning.... 

Frogmore Mill had been making paper for over 200 years – ever since it became the world’s first commercial mechanised paper mill in 1803.

Group tours of 10 and over need to be booked in advance.
