This weekend is National Mills Weekend, and we're very fortunate to have two mills to visit. Last week we told you about Bicclescombe Mill, and this week our focus turns to Hele Corn Mill & Tea Room where you'll find the only remaining working cornmill in North Devon (as well as an amazing tea garden!).Hele Cornmill is a 16th century working watermill just outside Ilfracombe, with an 18’ diameter wheel and two sets of grinding stones. You can find out about the mill, its history and how they make flour through a short information film. You can also look around the mill and have a go at making flour on the hand quern. (Free entry).There is a large, undercover outside seating area and Teagarden where you can join them for a traditional Devonshire cream tea, (perhaps with Devonshire splits and thunder and lightning), or be tempted by the cakes, baked by the miller’s wife with stoneground flour from the mill. 🏆 Four times winner of Devon Life’s Best Tearoom award.🚗 Parking in Hele Bay Carpark in Beach Road. 🐕‍🦺 Dogs welcome but not in mill building.They are open Sunday, Monday and Tuesday 12-14th May.Check website for opening days - www.helecornmill.com📞 01271 863185/07554 310176#visitIlfracombe #NorthDevon #Ilfracombe #NorthDevonEscape #UnwindExploreDiscover #AdventureAwaits #2024Travel #creamtea #nationalmills ...
