Hele Corn Mill & Tea Room

Ilfracombe

Hele Cornmill is a Grade II listed water mill dating back to at least 1525.

Flour was milled here until the mid 1930s, and later it sadly fell derelict. In the 1970s the mill was restored by a local man named Chris Lovell. Now fully working, the mill grinds a heritage species of organic wheat to provide flour for the adjacent award-winning tea room.

The mill is not suitable for wheel-chair users or the infirm as there are four high steps to the entrance and stairs inside.

Dogs are welcome in the tea room and gardens, but not the water mill for food hygiene reasons as they mill flour there.
