The main mill dates largely from the 19th century although there was a fulling mill here in 1548. These buildings have been used for flock, woollen cloth and walking stick manufacture. The main block contains a stationary steam engine and a large waterwheel. There are occasional open days and an electric motor drive now turns the steam engine over.
