Postcode: HR2 0HE
Entrance to mill is quarter mile down hill to W (towards Walterstone from Rowlestone church).
Parking at village hall (by church).
One of the more remote corn mills, in a steep, wooded valley. It worked until the end of the war,
but lost most of its machinery soon afterwards. It retains its external overshot waterwheel, and
this will be turning. Water was taken from the top of a waterfall, some distance upstream, and
the leat to the mill is dramatic.
